yeah they are kinda easy to build.... then again this coming from someone who is getting a computer engineering degree and spends most of his free time at school building circuits for fun.

yeah its pretty easy to get a converter, but something high amperage is going to cost a decent amount of money.

the power supply in a computer is a great example. with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails. Ive seen some 12V rails support up to 35A, or even more. thats alot of power.
