I can confirm the 30mm fuse fits fine, thanks for the pointer. It's amazing what problems a blown fuse causes  @.@
It blew when I added a LED lighting mod.

Some mods draw a lot more current than you might expect. Just because it's "LED" does NOT mean it draws little current. Many of those LED strips can draw several amps. This should be checked before using things and slapping them onto a machines power supply that was NEVER designed to take extra loads - in fact most machines are flat out supplying the boards in them as it is without adding more stuff.

Aaaah - Thank you!!.. Even a sparky told me the other day that leaving the LED sign I made on all day would cost the customer " F*ck all"... I had to correct him as the 60W power supply will actually draw close to 100W.. not a lot, but not quite " f*ck all" either.
