Switching Power Supply Applications?

I just noticed this on ebay:

What are the applications of a power supply like this? Would this be a good way to power the lights in my cab? I know that I can always run power from my computer power supply, but I'd prefer not to.

Thats the kind of power supply you would find in a "real" arcade game.  You could use it to power lights in your cab for the coin door and such but you can also do that with a spare computer power supply....turn it on by connecting the green wire to a ground wire.  Or you can use super bright leds for you coin door and use the exising computer power supply since they draw very little current.

Coin door lights don't drain that much power, do they? No reason why you couldn't power them from the one PC power supply.

As for Marquee lighting, most people install a florescent light fixture that runs off the 120v, so it wouldn't go through your PC PS, NOR would it go through an arcade PS either.
