Hey BLuRry.

You also have to be careful as most ATX supplies today have done away with 
the -5v supply line.  Only the 'older' supplies and Server supplies, which 
our is, seem to have the -5v line left.  I assume in time even they may go 
too.

Just a heads up if you do decide to try your own ATX Power Supply mod.
