I reckon it should be fine, but I did hear once that switch-mode power supplies (as in PCs) aren't happy if you leave some of the lines unloaded - eg the -15v and -12v lines. > The only downfall, is that, (obviously), there won't be > the TV Modulator. Is that needed for SACRT broadcast??? No - in fact, if you are using RGB (rather than composite) connections, then you may not even need the 12v supply! Andy
