using psu 12v for router

mukki · 2008-07-13 09:16:20

anyone see any disadvantage or danger to using the 12v rail to feed my netopia modem, modems psu has died, so instead of getting a new one i thought it would be handier and a good power saver to just connect it to the pcs 12v, pc has a 400watt psu and has 13a on 12v, modem needs 1a
