Power supply from a repurposed pc PSU


 

I needed a regulated power supply to run my mBitX and a couple arduino kits, but didnt feel like shelling out a hunderd + bucks. So I modified an ATX power supply from a dead pc. I get 3v, 5v, and 12 volts, made from parts on hand. I also salcaged a bunch og parts from the dead pc, including a few torroids from another power supply.


 

Neat set up there with the banana connectors.

Repurposed computer power supplies are a excellent provider of a clean 12v supply and a few minutes work to add suitable connectors,it will do a grand job.

And it's an Antec as well. Antec power supplies have some of the best specs for low RFI emissions. I replaced a bad chinesium power supply in my desktop with an Antec and the background noise levels dropped on my receive by 3 S-Units.

I can believe that,properly specified and designed in the era when items were of quality,not like today where there is little or no filtering.
