How difficult would it be to make your own 500~600watt PSU?, I'd imagine the auto shutoff, load monitoring gizmos would be the hardest?. ]JR[ over at CoolHardWare.co.uk made a basic one for a TEC. that was 12(or24)Volt only, how much harder to make one with all the bells and whistles?. could you make one with a dedicated ampage to each V~line(non switching?) for around the same cost as buying a good switching PSU (550w @ £100?), or am I daydreaming/wishful thinking?

...

You could use an old PSU case and maybe the PCB?, and reverse engineer it from there with GOOD componants?(non~non~switching of course!

) ...

PS, you could make the 12v separate no?, cause it does'nt have to be as 'clean' as the +5v, +3.5v and 1.5v does it?...
