Default Power Supplies (Edmonton)
I was prepping some old computers to get dropped off at the Eco Station at work today and saved a couple of AT power supplies... they come complete with a switch, you just need a power cord. They would work great for powering fans, auto top offs, leds, etc. I have two of them... free for the taking

I'll take one Rich if you still have one around. How many fans can one sucker run?

I actually have 2 or 3 of them already and was thinking of using them for exactly that purpose.

Ok, the power supplies are gone. Thanks to Harv and Beth.

Harv... I'm pretty sure one could run enough fans to make your neighbour's think you have a helicopter landing out on your balcony. I haven't checked the power rating on each power supply, but assuming each one does 100watts... thats a lot of fans

Most of these older power supplies I believe are 250 - 300 watts.
