Very neat project! From an electrician - You really should make a better earth connection on the supply side, super important with switch-mode power supplies.

As an automotive diagnostician and electronics project hobbyist, I concur. Poor grounding can create a myriad of faults.

Boa Noite com um começo de um bom dia. Fiquei até agora vendo o vídeo dessa fonte que você refez totalmente. Ficou muito legal e gostei bastante da sua ideia de colocar esses componentes eletrônicos e instrumentos de medição. Só faltou o mais importante de todas as coisas que você fez. Foi explicar todos os detalhes de cada modificação. Se você achar que sou digno de sua atenção e respeito por seu canal eu fico feliz em ter retorno de sua parte. Ontem dia 16/09/23 Eu estava tentado fazer uma fonte pra mim de uma fonte de computador e não vi que era 127 volts e entrei com 220v direto. Só vi foi os capacitores estourando.kkkkk me ajuda aí à fazer uma outra pra mim. Obrigado. Fico no aguardo.

[@kjiibrit]

Very impressive! The only things I would add would be a power fuse on the 240V input, and a screen on the fan!

[@creatividea]

Thank you for the input suggestions, as far as I know the fuse is already in the ATX power supply

[@309electronics5]

If you have good eyes and can see the fuse its there its on the board its somewhat easy to see for younger people like me

That ground strap connected to the plastic stand off and pvc case.... Work of art ! ! ! ! ! 😷

[@timh0r]

wanna talk about the 12V rail transformed into car ligther plug and then back to 5V while there is a 5V rail available already on this ? Or about how dangerous those old shitty PSU are ? Or the bad ground soldering on the right converter ? I also hope that fuse is 12V 10A and not 240V...

[@pcmacd]

In _eighth grade_ electronics shop, they taught us that one NEVER depends upon the solder for a joint. You MUST have solid MECHANICAL CONNECTION before you solder it. Don't feel bad as every soldering video I've seen on youtube is exactly like this - INCORRECT.

[@artisanwest9730]

You are correct. I was going to mention this until I found your comment. I'm a retired BSEE and once had NASA space flight certification for soldering.

[@thomasbrosset7794]

Hi, can you tell me where you had your PVC sheet printed on your front panel with the different button locations on it Thanks to you

[@christianfleurier8918]

A lot of great ideas in this video !! the best : use a trimer behind a standard potentiometer with a removed stopper to have a multi-turn potentiometer, and use the glue and the sodium bicarbonate this way : put only a few drops of super glue, add the bicarbonate all along the corner, and only after add a lot of glue to consolidate !! Congratulation !

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I have used that trick twice to repair the housing on my tablesaw switch. Ugly (from lack of skill), but highly effective. I did discover some glues are better than others.

[@jean-michelchevalier6649]

Nice video, thank you. What device do you use to unsolder(potentiometer) if you have any link where to buy it? Many thanks

Boa noite parabens pelo seu trabalho

[@influenzato]

Hi, great project!! but please let me do a question, i would like to use a atx pc psu as psu for a audio car amplifier... it needs 12v obviously and much A as possible, so i thought about atx pc psu that usually can give it a lot, i see some with 60A.. do you think it will possible? how could you do it?

[@lisu6060]

In this video, what tool did you use to remove solders so cleanly and quickly from the PCB board in order to remove the potentiometer from the voltage converter?

[@ajithoneiro]

Good one...tons of information.

[@SCARMAXFIB]

Olha ta de parabéns muito bem feita acho que nao sei nem se tem palavras pra elogiar que seria pouco ... ta de parabéns

[@ahmedsoffy581]

actually its perfect project . i like it

[@pierrec1590]

Hint: Take advantage of the existing fixed 3V, 5V and 12V by putting banana jacks for those as well. You don't always need variable voltages, but you will always need 3,5, or 12V For example you can power a microprocessor with 5 volts, and then use a variable voltage to test ADC inputs response.

[@itsmeadude460]

@Sheila Walker Just out of curiosity: how would you use those? Are they somehow provided via the ATX-plug?

[@itsmeadude460]

@Sheila Walker I was actually curious how he could use "...the voltage and current sense of the power supply..." by just using the cables going to the ATX-plug... Agreed that some things I would have done differently, like labelling a 12V car-outlet socket as 5V, because you intend to plug a USB-converter into it or GND & housing... Also you can get some nice standard voltage values by e.g. using -12V and +12v -> 24V. I like his idea of hooking up an adjustable DC-DC converter. All in all an old PC switching PSU does not really deliver "crude and un-monitored" electricity though - maybe it's a bit diluted at the output of the adjustable DC-DC converter, but for standard values like 3.3V, 5V, 12V and 24V I'd go for the clean PSU output. Cool idea with the LED test - lots to learn there ;)

[@markpeterson5479]

By cutting the wires off of the connectors you'd have the 3, 5, and 12 volts out. Group them in parallel by color and feed them to the rest of the circuitry, You wouldn't even have to open the computer power supply - just use it as is.
