DIY power supply
MarkF:
can i put n led on a negative volt rail?
Yes. But you need to reverse the polarity of the LED.
what about the polyswitch?
Do you mean polyfuses?

This diagram might help (Again you may not need the load resistor for the supply to turn on):

One thought: You can get really cheap low voltage digital voltmeter+ammeter boards on Ebay, which allows you to watch several channels simultaneously and still have a meter free.

yeah mean the panel mount ones?
yeah i got 2 of those, but for the fixed outputs i don't really need one i think.
anyways i'd have to either have 3 of them or have a switch for it, and i have no room for that.
i did put in a temp display though, and the variable psu ill make after this will have a meter in it.
MarkF:
I missed the 3.3V Sense wire (Brown).
It needs to be tied to one of the 3.3V Output wires (Orange).
Pirateguy:
lol no worries. my atx has neither 3.3v nor 3.3v sense wires :P
i added a step down module to get the 3v.
i also don't have a power on wire that i can see...
so it looks like my first planned upgrade will be a double pole version of the power switch :P
hopefully the chinese won't make me wait too long...
in any case here she blows:
