wow!... there's so much empty space inside,

they could have put the power supply inside instead of external transformer that makes it look like a toy.

nice pics!

I think McHale did an internal power supply mod on his M50. I forget where I saw the pictures, but it looks like a great idea!

Thanks a lot for the pics. My number one problem with the M50 and keyboards having that form factor is the external power adapter. I was hoping that there was enough space next to the power switch to store the brick of the power supply in there. From what I am seeing that looks like enough space.

I am planning to fix the power supply to the housing and solider a permanent connection directly to the internal power board. Then run some wires from the brick to the back of the keyboard and place a regular female 110 socket. This way I figure that this way I wouldnt have to worry about the thin wire on my adapter breaking and would be able to find a power cable at short notice in case I forget mine somewhere. Has anyone here done this already?
