ATX power supply
Mine is rated for 575 watts max, but that's probably overkill for most bench use. Pretty much any working power supply will be fine.

Power resistors
I didn't have the right values so rather than order anything, I just grabbed a bunch that I could find and strung them together to get the right values. Not the prettiest approach bot it worked.

LED with housing and appropriate resistor for 5vdc
In my case, it's a green T 1-3/4 in a metal panel mount case paired with a 330 ohm 1/4 watt resistor.

Binding posts
I used black for ground and red for everything else, but feel free to defy convention. Choose the quantity based on how many outputs you want; in my case, I did 'em all (+3.3vdc, +5vdc, +12vdc, -5vdc, and -12vdc).

Cool on-off switch
I spent a long time scrounging through switch bins at the local surplus store before I found mine. Take your time and find the right one.

Crimp-on ring connectors
I actually solder 'em, but that's usually what they're called. Get the yellow ones (I think they're for 12 gauge wire) as well as some smaller blue ones.

Heat shrink tubing
1/8", 1/4", and a few bigger pieces if you've got 'em around.

Solder and flux
For some reason I stick with RoHS stuff, so I use SAC305, no-clean rosin core, in 0.020 and 0.031. The thicker stuff is good for soldering the crimp connectors. A tube of no-clean flux helps this process too.

Circuit board
I used a premade proto board, but you can just grab whatever fits your resistor selection and mounts ncely to the case.

Misc hardware
Nuts, bolts, washers, bushings, standoffs, etc. Nothing too fancy here.
