Loose Ends - Bench Top Powersupply from an ATX computer power supply.


Today I decided to finish a project which has been sitting in a bin for about 6 months.

The project was found here at Incructables.com

It is a fantastic project, and with the supply used I now have +5v, -5v, +3.3v, +12v and -12v. The total price to finish this modification was around $30 CAD. Most of the cost was for the banana plugs.

The project is really easy and requires only a 10 ohm 10watt resistor, 2 220 ohm resistors, two LED's, and banana plugs. I am looking forward to not having to make a breadboard power supply for each project.
