Using A PC Power Supply

Love the 2U rack .. nice setup .. but overkill IMHO

I agree and when I meet up with him in the next 2 or 3 weeks, I'm going to ask those questions and a few others. Glad we could answer the original question. Also, Mike Fifer does a video on this exact thing as well if you look at his channel on YouTube,

I purchased some miscellaneous model railroad items and this was included. Haven't tested it out yet.

If I was going to do this, the breakout board is the way to go. No messing around inside the supply with no schematics.

I am going to do this and I just ordered one of those boards.  It will save me some DIY time.  Thanks much for that, Don.  On the down-side, it won't be here until some time in February
