I don't see how using computer power supplies to run chargers is using them for an entirely different purpose. The power supply has no idea what it is being used for. All it is doing is what it was designed to do, put out 12V at varying current loads. For all it knows it IS in a server powering banks of hard drives and processors.

I do however understand your insurance worries, if there was a fire (caused by anything) someone may see "wires" and think that is a fire hazard. But they are being used exactly what they were designed for, converting AC to DC.

To me, the price on it is ridiculous, but it does look good. I, personally, would never be able to justify it for myself.
