In all honesty, unless you happen to have a couple PC PS units laying around, you might as well get an actual power supply. Even if you find a decent PC power supply that will put out enough current while maintaining a solid 12v (they usually drop when running at full tilt), the bother of doing the necessary mods might not make it worthwhile.

The one I found and ended up buying was AU$140 which is almost US dollars these days and puts out 40amps at 13v which is enough to run 2 big chargers I think. It was still a lot more then a PC psu but it is hard to find them with a single high amp 12v rail.
