    [No stupid question] Can I build an atx psu from scratch?

    I have some good spare parts of electronics and deads PSUs from good brands,it is possible to buiild from scratch a psu ? I know it's sound stupid but I take a shot just for fun. Guessing with my little electronic expertise it could work only if you maintain certacin consumption, let's see a small mining rig that consume exactly 500w and no more no less, the problems start when that consumption starts waving around. Another thing I notice it's that the more powerful the psu is it's contains more "referees" to mantain the match in order if you understand wtf i'm saying.

    Well sorry english isn't my first language. Delete if this is too stupid or embarasing.

    I prefer to ask before blow some computers off.

    Cheers mates!
