will this conversion work? (power supply)

[kyosho501x]

i have a friend that has tons of computer power supplies and am wondering if this conversion will power a Ice charger and other identical chargers.

I have converted a computer power supply to run my A123 Charger, my Twin Peak charger, and my Duratrax Digital fish (can't spell the P word) charger. It was a 500 watt Hercules power supply, very off brand and generic, and I doubt it would power a computer very well, but it only cost me $14 for the power supply with free shipping and it does what I need very well.
For the resistor part, I bought mine at Radio Shack in the form of this. It has worked great for me so far. I just followed one of those walkthroughs for converting them, and the one you linked to should work great if you get a normal ATX power supply.

Yes - Brian has much simpler instructions in the elec section. It took me about 10 mins with his guide...

Choosing a modular PSU helps...
