While packing up my things to move house I came across an old ATX PSU that I forgot I owned. Rather than putting it in a box and getting on with packing, I figured I'd re-purpose it as a bench supply. There's plenty of write ups on the web about this, but I worked directly from the pinouts on Wikipedia .
Here's what the PSU looked like when I opened it up. As you can see, I have removed a fan from the back (front?) of the unit, this is where the bench supply outputs will go.
This is where the fan came from, I've placed a sheet of Sintra board behind the opening (covered with masking tape so it's easy to draw on). Notice the U shaped cut out (top left), this is where the original ATX wiring loom came out, but I'll be using it to mount a switch.
