I've got a bunch of dead ATX PSU's in my basement.
they use basically the same type of power interface.

ya i do the same thing
right out of a scrap computer power supply's
some have the power switch some do not..
i just like the fact it is a plug,and u also get a handy on/off switch
a in-line fuse is easy enough to do
recyle at it's best

You know, personally, I don't like the switch right next to the cord like that. If that cord frays or the insulation splits, you're down there waving your hand around in the general vicinity asking to get shocked. Certainly a very small risk with a new cord but it's real easy to plug these things in for 10 years and not think to periodically inspect the cord.
:dunno

Computer power cords are double insulated so its best to use those in this type of situation.
