Convert an ATX Power Supply Into a Regular DC Power Supply!

Step 7 Make it Pretty

You need some way of clearly marking which post is which voltage. You could go super polished and make a color-coded decal in Illustrator and print it at your local print shop, but I'm lazy... and cheap. So I used some permanent markers.

You could also take some plastic or vinyl paint and color each post. Whatever puts a bee in your bonnet.

Lastly, stick on the rubber feet on what you want to be the bottom.

Thought I would post these pics of my finished product. Give your supply a name, take some measurements, and with a little photoshop you can give your power supply a professional look. (Sorry about the poor quality images. Cell phones were not made for photography)

I find a good colour marker that will stick to most anything is found very inexpensively in the isles where all the ladies go to get stuff; it.s called nail polish. Very quick drying and if you get the cheap kids stuff, very cost effective
