Are you looking to build your own high wattage power supply? Are you looking to build it without having to spend money? Bench power supplies can cost you up to 250 dollars. This article will teach you how to build your own variable power supply using an ATX power supply from a computer. This comes in handy for students who are working on little projects at home and need a constant power source for their projects. This power supply will be able to give you a constant +5VDC,+12VDC,-12VDC and 1.2VDC-24VDC variable regulated voltage supply. On an average everything should cost about 50 dollars not including shipping charges. But it is still way cheaper then those 250 dollar supplies. | Are you looking to build your own high wattage power supply? Are you looking to build it without having to spend money?
