I followed the directions from this instructables how-to for "Convert an ATX Power Supply Into a Regular DC Power Supply". It was a good project to let me remember how to solder. Here's the final product:
To let this be a bit more useful for experiments to teach my daughters about electricity, I also built some jumper connectors and a light bulb fixture.
The jumper wires were made from leftover wires from the power supply and parts from Radio Shack:
The light bulb fixture is a low voltage patio lighting bulb wired up to a couple of nails on a wooden block.
The end result should allow my daughters and I experiment with what is a conductor and what is an insulator.
As noted in the original instructable, there are some dangerous components in this project. Repeat at your own risk.
