..You can bung them in PCs as an emergency stopgap when the old PSUs wear out. They're good for powering C64s too.

My handyman PC now became exhausted when the full slate of bits were all plugged in, so I jammed in an extra 200 watt supply to share the workload. I was sick of the mouse pointer juddering down the screen all by itself or my USB MIDI stalling. The hiccups haven't totally disappeared, though I can have more USB gear plugged in than I used to before they start.
It's called making the most of all your old crap. I suspect that's half the reason we keep all our Commodores fit and healthy.
