Basically, I just need something small and cheap with lower power output. I don't even care if the rail(s) are steady 'cause I'm only using this to power fans. I tried looking at some of the major e-tailers, but struck out on what I think I want... A slimline PSU would be good I think, but I don't even know where to find those, I checked ebay and couldn't even find any... Any suggestions?

i'd proly post a thread in wanted to buy and see what AT'ers have laying around. i have an antec 3870w that came with a case but that'd even be overkill for your needs.

svc.com used to sell refurbed sparkles for ~$10 that were pulled from old dell or hp's or something but i don't see them anymore.

http://www.bgmicro.com has a number of 12V wall warts that might work for you with a bit of modding. Some of their "rat-in-snake" power supplies don't come with a power cord, so get one of those while you're there. allelectronics.com and halted.com also sell that type of power supplies. Ypu'll also need to mod the output side for connecting fans.

I see that jab-tech.com has a power supply with a molex for the output. Similar to several of the bgmicro supplies but it comes with the power cord too. This should make it very easy to do.
