Charger Power Supply

Charger Power Supply
I plan on upgrading the power supply in my computer soon to something that can support a bigger video card. And I could modify my current on to be used with a charger. My current one is around 400w and runs my system perfectly like I said only upgrading to accommodate more hardware. I can get pictures of my current one if you'd like and there's no need to worry about it being over heated at one point because it got filled with dust or something, because I'm a computer clean freak and vacuum my pc out monthly which would include power supply internals. I can get pictures and details specs of my current one if you'd like.
Pricing would go as this:
power supply itself: $13
$2-3 for banana jacks (I can put any kind of connector on there, banana jacks just seem common)
$5-10 for labor (depending on what you would like done)
finally shipping I'd be guessing it's around $7 all depending on your location but $7 seems to be a nice middle estimate.
total: $27-35 (depending on what is requested to be done also just an estimate)
basically materials+labor+shipping
and that's 1/2 the price of buying a similar power supply and the only thing you lose is a usb port and I could put one on if you'd like
For how you'd like it built I can have the banana jacks as part of the case like the one above in the hyperlink, I can also do dual 12v rails if you'd like to run dual chargers, and single or dual 5v rails (can also make a 5v rail into a usb like in above hyper link). I can make it however you'd like.
if you pm me or post up what you'd like done and your zip I can give you a final price
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to contact me.
Also I have feedback on beatyourtruck.com under the same user name as here, if your concerned about that.

but what is the powersupply?
what current does it do on the 12volt rail?
do you actually have any experience with this? any photos of your work? pics of things you've soldered?
do you offer any warranty? or, when it fails, electrocutes and kills someone, will you simply disappear?

it is an hp 365w
it has two 12v rails one at 12A another at 14.5A
I do have experience with this I will try to either sort through my camera for pictures or get them once I get back (going camping for the weekend, still have internet though).
Not really sure what kind of a warranty I can offer but I will test it before I ship it out. I don't see it electrocuting someone if all the electronics are tucked away inside and not touching each other, also banana plugs are recessed. Therefore you'd have to try to get electrocuted. And I'll try to deal with any issues to the best of my ability.

As promised here are the pics of my power supply. t is a 400w dynex in case you're wondering.
In the pictures you may see additional holes drilled in the case. This is because I was trying to mount the plugs low enough so I could still have the fan on the inside and although I was able to do it, it was still too close to the internal parts of the power supply for my liking. So I decided to play it safe and mount the plugs high and the fan on the outside.
I also put a resistor between the two wires where the pc's power button would be instead of soldering them together.
I use all the 12v wires as you can see from the pictures, so you get the combined amperage from both rails.
Addressed to who ever asked about soldering: My soldering is much neater now that what is used to be, because I picked up those soldering helping hands, a better soldering iron (a weller no more radio shack) and a bunch of different tips for what ever use I may need them for. I also picked up a bulk package of various sized shrink tubing so I shrink tube every thing now. I also use the quick crimp terminals and it also helps to keep the plugs in place better. But I solder the wire on instead of crimping for a better connection. Also the part of the plugs that touches the case has fuel tubing around it for insulation from the case so it won't ground anything out.

Resistor (white things is a zip tie to keep it in place)
Back of Banana Plugs and terminals (black is shrink tubing for solder joint and red was to hold the wires while I soldered because red is smaller)
Any other questions feel free to ask

dude, no one wants this, it isn't worth the risk of them damaging their charger, getting electrocuted, or starting a fire!
