Not quite sure where to ask this so here it goes. I am attaching a small 7" LCD monitor to the side of my server case and if possible would like it to be powered by the PSU since it runs on 12v DC. I have plenty of cables/pins/etc to make whatever plug connections I need. But I am not sure what lines in the PSU are the 12v lines. Hopefully I am explaining this enough to have it make some sort of sense.

Thanks :).



For reference here's some pics of what I have and a paint pic of what I am looking at making.

The yellow cable on the standard 4 pin molex connector is +12v and black would be ground.
 
Do note that the red wire is 5 volts, not 12 volts. The 12 volt wire is the yellow one.

You can use whatever color you want really. They did it properly (go look what side the +12v is on your power supply).

Thanks, I happened to have a short piece of red 18g wire laying around so I used that instead of cutting a yellow piece down. Thanks though :).
