I have a few extra PSU's laying around. Should i take one apart and see how it ticks. i have some Eletrical backround so tell me what im dealing with...
I know i need to be grounded at all times when doing that. I also know that know that convert AC to DC. Thats around all i know right now i think.
 
Yeah, if I remember correctly, not much in those PSUs can "kill" you, but it might hurt like all if oyu get shocked :P

I really don't care to get into PSUs. I've opened my share of them, and there's not much in there... About all I care about anymore are fans, as you can sometimes get decent ones from PSUs...

I never though of getting fans out of a PSU. Thanks for the idea.

Heh, i do that sometimes.

Anyways, when i opened mine up, all i saw was some huge capacitors, a fan, and a heat sink-ish thing
