My Scientific Atlanta cable modem uses a 12v @ 1a wall wart and I wondered what problems might arise from powering it directly from my gateway PCs power supply. The gateway (clarkconnect router, NAS) shutsdown during the wee hours (3w standby vs 38w running) and the cable modem is 8w running. I'm assuming the biggest concern is lightning but I can put an arrestor on the coax from the cable company.
Thoughts?
