My experience shows that you should start with checking all power supply lines to see if they give the correct voltage. To do this, short-circuit a jumper and use the green wire to ground. If all the voltages are correct and there are no visible signs of damage (e.g. spilled capacitors), go to work. How did I do it:
1) Checking the condition of the power supply.
2) Take it out of the housing.
3) Preparation of appropriate banana sockets in my case 3.3 5 and 12 V and two outputs for ground. It is also worth installing a USB connector.
4) Installing LED indicating power and on-of switch. The housing is ready.
5) Preparation of wires. I connected 3 wires to each voltage and soldered an appropriate equalizer. In order for everything to look aesthetically, the individual lines are protected along the entire length with a heat shrink tubing.
6) One red one for the LED indicating the operation of the power supply. The previously mentioned green and black for the ON-OF switch.
7) Lubricating the fan. It is also a good idea to mount a speed controller that significantly mutes the work of the power supply.
8) connecting the appropriate lines to the banana sockets.
9) There are many theories about loading the 5V line. I did not do it and I never ran out of electricity. But if you choose to do so, remember to thoroughly cool the resistors.
10) Reassembling the casing and re-testing whether everything works as intended.
11) Constructing the necessary connection cables for various types of systems.

Final conclusions. The operation is not difficult, but requires a little patience.
ATTENTION!!!! We do not work at a voltage of 60V alternating current under normal conditions it can kill.
Build, have fun, remember about safety.
