[sdiy] +-12V supply

[harrybissell]

I considered building a relay based "soft start" for my PowerOne
supply as "building my own power supply".  The only time I would
build my own is....

1) when I want cheap and dirty and don't care about performance

2) when it has to fit into a custom sized area

3) when I need an odd voltage not readily available
