Default Re: Building a 12V Power Supply From Computer Power Supply
I made one a few years ago with the 5 volt side. I took 3 power supplies
and using (5v) wire connected it to the ground of the next PS... Did this 2 times
and got 15.3 volts... At over 30 amps.. My project drew almost 30 amps and
wires got hot and there were a few sparks... but it all worked...

Good info for RC guys

Could you also modify this to have a 5 volt as well as 3 12 volt outputs? 5 volts would be cool for powering receicers and servos when adjusting in the bench.
