Project boxes: PC power supply and old network hardware

[grodysk]

Not only can you use a PC power supply as a handy bench power supply, but if you get one that doesn't work, you can take the guts out and have a nice metal project box, with IEC power connector, switch, and fan if needed.

I've also found nice boxes from old network gear (switches, hubs, modems, ... ) work nice.

P.S.  If you are a scavenger like me, both offer a lot of parts for your projects.
