You will need to find a buddy with a dead XBOX 360 power supply and then from there its realy ez. Take the plug that would plug in to the 360 off you will find 3 yellow wires, 3 black wires , 1 red wire and a blue wire . You will need to hook the red and blue wire togeather. Now look at the 3 yellow wires you will see that there is one that has 2 yellow wires running together that is the power wire you will want . Next you need to do the same with the black find the one that has to blacks runing in to one that is the ground you will use . So at this point you should tape off the 4 wires left as you will not need them and now your power supply is redy to go. let me know how it works out for you. I am using mine to charg my lipos at 8 amps with my ice charger so i know it works on the ice charger.

Good idea!
i think it will work with computer power supplies too... I know i have a few of those hanging around... the yellow wires on the drive plugs are 12v, not sure what the amps are...
I'll let you all know if it works... and i'll take some measurements...
