   Re: PC PSU repurposing

   Thanks for the replies.   
      
   I'm using the PSU's 12v as a source for this buck-boost converter:   
   https://tinyurl.com/ycbytxdv   
   and I was worried about instabilities. I guess that I should have said that.   
      
   Google hits on the question said that the 12v output needed a 1A minimum   
   load and I didn't like the idea of a 12W resistor.   
      
   I'm going to put a 1/2A load on the 5v, cause it can't hurt and deal   
   with a 12v load if I have to.   
      
   Thanks again,   
   Bob
