Offtopic: Where can I get a 120 VAC to 12VDC converter I want to run my car deck in my room. Thanks, sorry about being a little off topic.

radio shack, or just any electronic store.
I just use my extra computer power supply, just have to make the right plug for it. It's good since it can definitely supply the current.

Any electronics shop - but look for the +800 mA (bigger in size too) ones and not the crappy 350mA - they won't run anythig right and they keep burning out

An old AT PSU should do...no?
there is a technique of plugging one of the leads into another so it don't turn off right away..they normally do if not plugged in a motherboard...
Does somebody have the magic formulae?

The Radio Shack parts number is 22-120.

You can find cheaper unit at the Yahoo Electronics Store.

AT power supplies are either on or off. no standby or stuff like that. very convenient. especially for running multiple devices off 1 PSU.
