The solution that occurs to me is to use an extra output of a PC power 
supply if you have a server located in the same place.  I'm about to set 
up a NAS4Free server with an overspeced gold power supply, and running 
my other devices off of it makes a lot of sense to me.

Has anyone had any experience with wiring a HDPrime, switch, cable 
modem, or anything like that off of a PC power supply?  A quick search 
shows a lot of hits for converting a PC power supply to a bench power 
supply, but nothing about using one to power both a regular computer and 
external devices.
