RE: PSU linear power -again!

I am building an ATX linear supply following Mihaylov's project.

Although I am sure Mihaylov can add to me, I believe that the P24 supplies all share the same ground.

One word of advice -
The latest Gigabyte MB reccomendation does not need -12V for startup. However, knowing that you employ a LynxTWO-B card like me, this card requires:
+5V 600mA
+12V 500mA
-12V 150mA

Therefore, no need of +3.3V for it, but all 4 linear supplies are required, including -12V. I am also evalueting the possibility of double consecutive stabilization on +12V circuit as well as +5V.

Re. P24 connector, it is possible to make such connector from scratch but you require the right tools to crimp. So, I went to my local computer repair shop that throws away dead ATX PSUs every other day and cannibalized one for P24 and P4 with cables. For device cables+SATA conenctors I had one left (actually a few) from my last PSU which had detachable cables.
Eventually, if needed, the P24 connector is MOLEX 39-01-2240; the P4 connector is MOLEX 39-01-2040. You can search for those numbers at, for ex., RS Online.
