Amazing and well done. We live in a remarkable time where so many of these components are readily available and affordable. for viewers: before cutting the molinex connector look for any pin with an additional (usually thinner) wire, and for the orange or brown wire in pin 11/20 or 13/24, these are 'sense' wires and must be connected so that the power supply knows it's working or else it shuts down immediately. Also google the model of your power supply for minimum load(s), some only need 1 amp load on the 5v line, some need 0.5amp on the 3.3v, 5v, AND the 12v lines. The variable stepdown output unit needs a diode on the output to protect against feedback if you use if for battery charging or anything with capacitence/inductance such as a motor. I might also suggest circuit breakers instead of fuses for the 3.3,5,12v lines.

INCREDIBLE Workmanship. May I offer ONE suggestion? Instead of cutting ALL of the wires from the Power Supply, get a Power Supply MOLEX connector from a defective motherboard, and solder all your wires to it. Then you can just use the standard Power Supply output plug to attach to your wiring harness. Someday your Power Supply will FAIL. So when it does, you can simply UNPLUG it and replace it with another in just a few minutes.

PaintmanJohn & Eric Livesay - could either (or both) of you *please* explain to me where you obtained your knowledge on this subject matter?? I’m 40 and I’m desperate to learn about ALL THINGS low voltage / DC related, but I’ve got no clue where to start!! I’ve watched SO MANY VIDEOS like this one, from start to finish, and marvel at the amazing achievements & know-how of Numerous creators... I’ve even purchased some basic soldering & wiring kits/equipment and also own & tried to learn several different things like arduino, raspberry pi, and even projects with led bulbs or infrared arrays... I get started, and then quickly get LOST every time. I’m also very fond of finding discarded electronics and either fixing them or just breaking them down to see how they look inside... every week I bring home something new, like laptops, TV’s, monitors, radios, etc, which I find ON THE CURB in my neighborhood... I recently broke down a huge Plasma TV and I’m CERTAIN there are valuable components inside of it that could be used in future projects, but since I’m clueless, I’ve stacked up all the boards from all these dismantled items and piled them neatly in boxes... hoping SOME DAY I’ll understand what I’m looking at... The fact that you guys can watch this video and not only FULLY UNDERSTAND IT, but then offer ADVICE on how to do this BETTER simply blows my mind and frustrates me. HOW DO YOU KNOW???? I would die a happy man if I knew how to build something like this or simply UNDERSTAND what’s being built to the level where I felt I could easily replicate it if I chose to... Could you guys please explain to me how I can obtain a thorough education & understanding on all things involved here in this video?? You were blessed with this education and had to start somewhere, so please help me. Cheers!

Excellent build. I had a bench top supply that I made when I first started with Arduinos. I found that for many projects I needed more than 12 volts, but I rarely needed more than two voltage inputs simultaneously. To keep the footprint small I made mine with two variable outputs using the same modules you used. I made it so I can use a power supply from a laptop or any other type of supply using the same size male jack. The main power supply sits on the floor out of the work area and only the variable control and outputs are on the bench top. Adding multiple female jacks makes it possible to use any supply I happen to have available whether it has a barrel jack like my old Toshiba laptop or a rectangular one like my wife’s Lenovo. I can also use the power supply for my 3D printer or even my model railroad. It is very inexpensive if you shop carefully for the components.

I love this modular concept. Simply excellent. Did you know that if you isolate (with simple rubber washers) the output side of the PSU from the case. You can connect 2 PSU's together. Why? To get 24V at much higher amperage than can be given by the blue wire (-12V). There is a video on how to do this, when I find it again I will edit this and show it. I dont know if it works with 3 or more PSU's. This will also give you considerably more voltages varying from any combination of 3.3, 5, and 12 up to 24 (i.e. 3.3+5 = 8.3, or 3.3+12 = 15.3 etc, all at higher amperages that the highest amperage of lowest amperage PSU can handle - which is significantly more than the blue wire and much more useful). The other reason I like it is because it is much easier to add additional features. Reverse polarity protection for example - which is needed if you want to charge car batteries. I'm going to build one like this. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome design and build! However, I would think the front bezel needs a port to provide air throughput since the fan in the power supply is drawing negative flow. Too much of a seal in the enclosure will burnout the fan in the power supply as well as creating too much heat from too little air flow thus reducing the life span of the power supply itself. But overall I love it!!
@bobburchett85173 жыл бұрын
I am thinking that as little load that this PS will probably be under as a Bench PS will be minimal as opposed to being a functioning Computer PS. I think the fan should be fine. In fact, there will be a lot less worry about dust clogging up the fan since it will be primarily be blowing air OUT the fan opening. That would be my only concern. If the fan were blowing IN to the PS instead of OUT, then it might be a problem. Good point though.

Very nicely done! One thing I might do differently concerns supplying more power to the USB socket. The one used is designed for Quick Charge 3.0... It clearly will not be able to do that if all you give it is 5 volts... So, I would use a yellow (12V) wire instead of the 5 volt STB wire. If having a true 5 volt USB output that continues to work when the main switch is off is still important, you can always install another, simpler socket. But to me, spending that much on this particular socket and not using it to its full potential seems like a waste. ;-) Again, great build! Cheers from Canada!

Not sure if the standby power can supply enough current for the the USB socket (some power supply are as low as 0.2A. Standby is meant to keep power going to a small set of components on the motherboard used to control the power-on signal from the motherboard back to the PSU when you want it to turn on (to allow for Wake on LAN). The USB socket is designed to take in 12V (not 5V), so you may be under-powering the circuitry in there as well. It is much safer to wire it to the 12V output of the PSU. You'd lose the always on ability, but you at least know you have enough voltage and current to power it.

well i do love his highly skilled workmanship. A couple points from an electronic engineer of over 50years skills. 1. I would recommend not having air in and air out on back panel, unless there is some form of horizontal separation barrier sticking back at least 200mm from one side to the other. I note as other have pointed out there are grills on the back panel situated above the fan outlet grill. Now if unit is placed with back near a wall or rear of bench with a high back the air will start to recirculate and unit will get hot. His case is beautifully designed and made, except for this critical thermal flaw. Look at any type of commercial equipment and you will never see inlet and exhaust placed adjacent to each other. Further like the desk top computers these supplies are filled to, I would suggest adding a removable filter on any inlet air vent as a major killer of these supplies is both dust (causes electrical arcing in the High voltage DC section of the supply) and overheating. 2nd personally I would have painted the inside of the case with a fire resistant paint or lined it with a thin fire resistant material. But that's me, very safety conscious. Absolutely brilliant video. I will do say you have taught me a lot about building in timber. Plus you mentioned some sort of cad software I had not heard of, that I will look up as I have recently got myself a 3D printer. Also EXCELLENT graphic schematic showing how to wire unit. I have to ask what did you draw that in please?

Excellent case design! I had planned on converting a couple of old ATX power supplies for a number of years now. I am printing out your design right now, I can finally have the finished look I wanted to go for, thank you. I know you have since upgraded your original design, but with the original, you could eliminate the step-up converter for the 12V lighted switch by using one of the power supplies yellow 12V power leads. Thus eliminating the PG connection unless wanting to use it for LED indication or some other 5V connection. The original switch needs 12V for the power indicator light, not for switching.

@KSCPMark67422 ай бұрын
Using an ATX this way is tempting, but very dangerous. Not in the way you think though. The ground is almost certainly tied to the chassis which is tied to actual earth ground in the wall plug. So when you power a circuit, ground is also actual earth ground. So far so good. However, if for example you have an AC powered oscilloscope or other test equipment, where the probe ground is _also_ earth ground, and connect the probe ground _anywhere_in the circuit (except ground) you have just shorted that point to ground and released the magic smoke.

ATX Power Supplies need a constant 5 volt draw so the switching circuit in the power supply will function at the correct voltage with "No Load" on it... When the Power Supply is in a computer it has the hard drives and other things to keep the switching part of the supply working even when off, that is the purpose of the stand by wire so it knows when it needs to make 12v... Without the resistor the power supply would not know what to do when nothing is plugged in to it, basically, there is some more to it but that is the jest of it... Lol Hope this helps... LLAP

I mounted them to the metal where I attached the other wire to ground. The resistors I used were 5Ω, but much less watts. I don't remember how many watts though. Live Long And Prosper to you too.

Thank you for making this. It makes me feel like I might be able to build one myself. I am a bit overwhelmed with the hooking up the wiring piece, but I will maybe try it :) I like your channel. Thank you, very nice build!

Would you mind listing dimensions of the box and possibly the srt files used for the 3d printed parts? Excellent job it looks great.
