Title: Got bored... ATX PSU & E-Load build up.
Post by: Skimask on October 18, 2014, 03:26:39 am
Got bored this week.  Took an old ATX PSU, turned it into an extra bench supply.  Also, re-watched Dave's video on electronic loads.  Built one of those up too.  It ain't perfect, it probably ain't accurate, but it's good enough for me.

oh, there's no plan for getting rid of heat.
that's the beauty of it all.  Built it up.  Sweat the small stuff later. :)
but ya, there are small holes for air and the fet is on a large heatsink inside.
