damn these forums are fast!

ok more stupid questions.....
how do you go about making your own supplies? (probly way beyond my oakie ass soldering skillz)

and another odd thing i found on directron, load resistors. i somewhat get the concept behind them, but i would like to know exactly what they do and the purpose of them on a power supply. directron sells theirs for about 13 bucks, but in my allied electronics book i find it for $3.15. wtf? its a 25watt 1 ohm wirewound resistor for the electronics experts out there.

and to bigben. how did you get a xp2200+? are those even released yet? or is it a dev chip?

edit: hey i looked at that thread for the linear psu's. those things are friggin huge! i doubt ill have room to put something like that in the future case im making. (sorry, but i still want to bring it to lan parties without breaking off a capacitor or 2 in the car)
