    Yeah, no shit; I was expecting a slew of petulant, ignorant shits to ask "Who the fuck is ESR??" In addition to his other accomplishments, I seem to recall him being written in to a Neal Stephenson novel; if that isnt geek-cred, there is none. ;)

    There've been 12v DC-to-ATX adapters for a while, typically used with car PC's. They let you dispense with the power supply.

    UL Listing is very likely an onus on manufacturers/resellers and not end users. After all, our scratch-built PC's aren't UL-listed...

    I believe the parent's fear to be misplaced; it'd be different if you burned down your house operating a wood stove that was expressly prohibited in your policy or something like that...

    ...a UPS is going to burn down my house

    That's a valid concern; it's also a dead giveaway that this project isn't for you. As your concern is no doubt well placed, I highly recommend sticking to electrical items that come pre-built and leave that hobby to those adept enough to assemble custom systems that are far less likely [than cheap Chinese shit] to go up in flames.

    There's always a risk somewhere; the trick is seeing things in perspective.

    In the 80 homosexuality was Scientifically acknowledged by Scientific experts to be a disorder.

    Just the opposite: In the 80's, it was scientifically acknowledged that gay males have a hypothalamus lobe structured like that of females, and lesbians have one structured like that of males. And yes, they were born that way - as queers have since the beginning of time.

    By the way, gays haven't bothered me on the slightest since I got over my latent homophobia in my early 20's... but the haters and closet-homos such as yourself are another story.
