An old PC ATX power supply.

Just plug it in, and you have + 12v, -12v, +5v, -5v and often +3.3v and
-3.3v

Not very well regulated, but cheap!

I'm getting pretty sick of my LM317 adjustable power supply I cobbled
together when I first started with PICS, and am getting the urge for
something a bit more substantial (read "more than 100mA output.  I don't
have much $ to blow on a fancy lab bench supply, and I really only need
+5,+12 volts.  What do most of you guys use as a basic power supply for
cheap?
