Might be the way to go for ATX regulators

and not terribly complicated and, best of all, affordable.

Mr. Salas has been working with this shunt reg design for quite awhile, mainly for hig voltage circuits. He offered this one for something near and dear to our hearts, a five volts, just under three amps, design.

I have begged, and I am hoping for assistance, on how to make it just a little "bigger", we'll see if he responds.

Look at post #36 here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/power-supplies/168631-5v-high-current-low-noise-regulator-4.html

I have many of the parts laying about that were intended for a FIRST WATT F-5 build that I gave up on when the J-2 came out; got one of those instead, so I am definitely going to make one of these.

The only downside to this reg, and that is debatable, is that it cannot correct for line voltage variations, no feedback loop. If you live in an area with large fluctuations this might not work.

Hope it works better than the USB monitor.
