Computer Power Supply Heater

i was Bord and i had some old computer parts so i went to work.
Gut It Out



the first thing i had to do was to gut out the power supply i would be putting the heater coil, power switch and the USB power curciut.
Cut the Cords






next i had to trim the cords that i might use later. i tried an led but it exploded and a fan blows the air to fast. so i don't know what ill connect them to just yet. but i later found a USB port and it works just great.
Heating Element

then i had to find some sort of heating element so i use an old spring i had lying around. and i hooked it up to a red and black set. cause the yellow cords got it to hot.
Heat Shield


i thought it might be a good idea to add a sort of heat shield. so that the coil wouldn't melt the USB circuit. so i took the back of an old floppy drive and chopped it up ad hot glued it into place.
Finished for Now

I'm not completely done with this project for now but it work fine. and I'm happy with it for now.
