        Well, yeah, but there's really nothing magic or special about a "PC
Power Supply", as such; it's just a bog-standard switching PSU that outputs
+5V, +12V, -12V, -5V and, as of the ATX standard, +3.3V. I've used 'em
plenty of times in applications that had nothing to do with PCs, but which
needed two or more of those voltages; they're cheap, easy to come by, and
come with those nice, convenient IEC and Molex connectors already attached.
