| Mar 13, 2015 at 21:33 | comment | added | Chris H | @user38168, you could, and it's been done, but if you're repurposing ATX supplies a bit of googling first wouldn't be a bad idea - you often need a minimum load on the +5V line for the other lines to be properly regulated, for example. | |

| Mar 13, 2015 at 14:24 | comment | added | brhans | Yes you are correct. | |
| Mar 13, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | Tustique | So, if you wanted to have a 24V supply, you could use the difference between the +12V and -12V lines as a 0.8A 24V supply? Am I understanding this correctly? | |
| Mar 13, 2015 at 13:56 | comment | added | pjc50 | This is the correct answer. They're not grounds, they're negative with respect to ground, and current flows from the ground to the negative rail. They're not much used any more but still required by the specification. | |
