  1. I realize this is an old thread but i just wanted to mention that for anyone wanting to go the computer PSU route, you don't really need a PSU that supplies a -5vdc, you can use the +5vdc you just switch the leads believe it or not, put your meter on it to see for yourself, there are like 30 configurations that can be derived from a modern ATX power supply by manipulating the voltages ex: +12vdc and -5vdc in series would give you 7vdc. using the center and the positive 12. Now if you have no idea what im talking about then you probably have no business playing with electricity anyway...Im going straight to the board as i dont have any of the power cord for the CV. I may design my own usb or not, but the computer PSu can be used for almost any configuration you need and I feel they are the best bang for the buck. Just thought id toss this out there, i just have a hard time spending the $50.00-$60.00 people are charging for the power supplies, and i know about the usb one, but im an electrical engineer and that would be like a chef going and ordering a burger from Mcdonalds...lol
