Its ok but I wouldnt want to put 19 amps through those wires, not that you will ever reach 19 amps running one charger. If you want to make one yourself there are instructions [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5680951/tm.htm]here[/link]

If you are up to the task, this PS seems to be perfect for converting. Dual 12v rails, 10A and 8A, power two chargers for $15, what else could you want?

You dont have to use just the 12 volt rails, on that conversion I also used the 5v and 3.3v rails, the 5v for lathes, tire warmers, testing radio equipment ect, and the 3.3v for.......Ive used it once for motor break in and once to test a mini t servo, I mostly added it because I could[8D]

Yub, yub, cmdr!

Or... the Pyramid power supplies are really good. $35 at etronics.com for 14 amps.

It is a good unit, and will do maybe 10 amps at 12 volts.

looks good but like hand shadow said those are some really dinky wires.

building your own is the best. Its really easy. and you can customize it to power anything you need since computer PSs supply a range of voltages.

I work in the IT industry and I can tell you that if the guy is selling it for that cheap it is more than likely a poor quality power supply. My company replaces a ton of cheap PC power supplies every month. We replace them with Sparkles, FSP, and Antecs all are good quality. A $15 power supply it not worth the box it comes in and would never go near my PC or my cleints PC much less my K&S DX Pro charger. Just because it says its 350 watts doesn't mean it is. Trust me I've seen many motherboards, processors, ect. killed by a cheap power supply. I would spend some extra cash and get a good power supply that will last more that a year or so. I use a power supply that came out of a salvaged camper (powers 12v stuff in it) its about 15 years old, puts out 40 amps, is highly regulated, and best of all it was free. This is a good PC power supply [link]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103935[/link] if you really want to use a PC power supply.

I had just got a real cheap PC ps from newegg along with a digital power supply tester and it just barely does what the specs say it will. It has some skinny wires and I had to shorten them and couple them together in order to deliver the required voltage of 10.5 while running 200 watts from it.

A regular 250 watt 12 volt ps is a lot better choice, but is more money. It's a lot simpler too than having to worry about all the unnecessary wires and connectors. This one will do a nice job while maintaining 12 volts while pushing the max current.
