Also, before starting any of this, you should see if your power supply
actually is a switching power supply. Either it would say so on the
label, or it would say that it works on all voltages (e.g. 110v - 230v).

Also, you need to check and see if the center of the output plug is
"+" (it should say all this on the label of the power supply).

Then you need to look around for someone selling a linear version:

(anyone -- does he want a regulated or unregulated power supply?)
