[quote]QUOTE: A computer power supply would be your best bet. Nearly all computer power supplies output +5 and +12 volts. You should be able to find a 200 to 250 Watt power supply for less than $100 from someone like All Electronics. <br />[/quote] <br />Yikes! I paid $20 US for a 300. The trouble with using a computer power supply is how would you turn it on? <br /> <br />The old fashioned ones, pre-pentium, had a switch, modern ones need a mother board.
