[fordy ydrof]

i haven't done this.. but you aren't the first to think of such a thing

http://www.instructables.com/id/Power-a-12V-WiFi-DSL-Router-from-a-PC-Power-Supply/

i'm sure more through googling would find more info

(do make sure your router/switch or whatever you try to plug in has the
right voltage requirements (not 9v for example..))
