I've looked at meci.com and mpja.com, etc.. but I'm not sure what it is I need.
I don't need a lot of wattage. Some of the ones on those sites look weird. Do they have power leads? How do they connect to the fans? I trust they just plug into the wall for AC input. Will I need to actively cool such a PSU?
What exactly is a switching PSU?
What is the -12V & -5V rail on some PSUs? (negative???)
Perhaps someone could answer all of the above.. 
Also, if someone knows anything about this and sees something that might suit my needs for sale somewhere, I'd appreciate the link.
