Default RE: PC Power Supply as RC Charger power supply

Ok, at first I shorted the wires as instructed in one of the tutorials....nothing happened.

Checked with a meter, no voltage, nothing.

Then it hit me...This is a PC PS..so I tested it on a PC... Happy to share that this $6.55 + $10 shipping Power Supply is working.

Now after reading other tutorials, I was able to find the correct wire to jump(short) to ground.

It turns on now with the switch, lights and fans, voltage is kinda low though specially when fan is turned up (adjustable) around 10.8v and 11.3 when fan is on lowest setting.
