I'm not promoting buying/selling, just a new solution. This isn't my product, and I've the permission from the dev to post about it here. Similar solutions were mentioned on Vogons, so I believe it fits here, since we talk about Voltage Blaster, 3.3v PCI mods, DC-DC converters and similar here. Apologies if I'm wrong.
It's a premade -12v to -5v linear regulator "drop in/plug in" solution for modern ATX supplies (though you still need strong 3.3v/5v rails for some builds), also does 24-20 pin conversion.
From the dev themselves: It's a linear regulator that uses the -12V from the power supply. That will work fine because -12V can only supply at most 300mA or so on modern power supplies, so the regulator would not heat that much even at full load.
The only parts that "scare" me is how exposed it is, and I dunno how flimsy that board is.
Opinions?
