An "standard computer power supply"

Question

I'm trying to use an ATX connector.

In the product description, it says, "Pair this connector with a standard computer power supply". I have a standard Macbook Pro with Retina display.

Does that mean I have to use my mag-safe 2, or a USB cable?

I still am unsure what the question really is. I see an ATX connector for an ATX power supply to be used on a laptop (?) and the question asking about USB or "mag-safe 2". I'm really confused. — efox29, Mar 02 '15 at 06:24

Neither. It means that you have to use a ATX power supply. The ATX power supply is a standard for PC style computers.

What is that? Is that cheap? – David Roberts Mar 02 '15 at 05:44

It's a computer part. It costs however much your computer part supplier charges for it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Mar 02 '15 at 05:44
