I dont think it would be stupid. I have alot of ATX PSUs laying around, but no SSTCs. angry

A lot of ATX supplies have a tl494 (or more likley a chinese nockoff) in them, so that might be easier than you thought ;)

They sure do, look for a KA494 or DBL494. I think there's another stealth one that doesn't end in 494 at all.

KresoLiubov, if you could somehow rebuild it, and take a few pics of it you could send this in to hackedgadgets.com, this is great stuff to have there "Solid State Tesla Coil - Almost entirely from old ATX PSU(s)"

interesting idea, might try that. I have no less than 18 broken ATX power supplies, most of which are the infamous "won't start up" problem. I did find that the cheap and nasty resistors on the startup side often go open, have resurrected 3 PS's that way.
other thing that breaks is the 5VSB capacitor or drive, they bulge and/or lose value, resulting in shutdown.
