Errr Jason, I am not sure where you got the idea Lynn wanted and
AC power plug on the front of her PC?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I read her meaning as a couple of 1/4" phono jacks(?) for an
aviation headset that works at funny/different impedance than
standard pc audio amplification.</div>

</div>
<div>This is what came to mind for me: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>However it only solves the listening side, not the mic side
of things, and wont fit in a drive bay.... But the tubes sure
would look cool on top of her rig ;-)</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So you want mains (110v-120v)
standard 3 prong electrical outlets in a 5.25" drive
bay?<br>
<br>
Possible, but might introduce some noise, it also might
not.<br>
There is risk involved, but mostly to your computer
equipment. If there is every a short to your case your
computer is toast and most likely every thing in it and
attached to it.<br>
<br>
Since you have limited electrical knowledge I would
recommend this route:<br>
<br>
Buy a cord like this one:

<br>
<br>
Get a 5.25" bay and front panel, cut out the shape
needed, glue the cord in flush with a glue of your
choice.<br>
<br>
Run the cord out the back of your PC somehow. You might
have a cutout large enough to pass it through.<br>
<br>
Install a rubber grommet or other protector around the
cord where it exits the case (Sharp edges, you don't
want that cutting into the extension cord.

<br>
Alternately:<br>
If you don't need much power, and want it to only run
while the PC is turned on you could wire in one of these
to your 12v Rails:<br>

Here is some info on wiring electret microphones.<br>

I am sure someone sells an off the shelf version but I
don't have the time to search for it right now.<br>

Good luck, and send us pictures!<br>

<div style="">In a nutshell, I would like to mod one

good difference in impedance between aviation

driving the electret mic in the headset using the PC
