^ uhh, how much horsepower were you thinking exactly? it would've been more practical to fill a large balloon with helium and build a mini-air balloon.

Things I have done with a dead PS.
- hurt myself opening up.
- pissing off my wife because I left a mess of cut up bits of wire on the floor that she stepped on.
- tried to see if I could make some type of art form out of the pieces but found out that I have zero capabilities in abstract art.
- removed all the Cap out of it and then figured out that I have zero need of a bunch of odd size caps.
- got the cables all disconnected from it and then wondered wtf am I going to do with a mother Board PS connector without a PS on it.
- figured out where the recycle center was where it finally went.

- works if you get some $ from doing it, otherwise gutting working parts and selling them at 0.1$ each would work better.

Throw it out in the woods for animals to play with. Heck, squirels could even construct their own PC from all these spare parts!

Seriously tho, throw it out, just not in the woods.

To suggest a few, you could use the torroidal core as an power inverter unit, use the torroidal core a a component for audio amplifiers, turn the whole thing into a bench power supply, use some of it's parts into a portable regulated power supply.
