Default Power supply for 2 chargers

Hi, I need to get a power supply for 2 chargers. Probably wont need to charge at more than 5amp on each. What sort of output do I need to be looking for from the power supply? I have an old PC in my loft that I could take the power supply out of but again what do I need to look for and how do I convert it to run the chargers?

most people that converted power supplies tend to use one around the 400w range as that was fairly standard in most PC's over the last few years.

Not sure what the minimum you could get away with is i'm afraid.

there were quite a few threads about converting them on here which had convertion ratios etc. maybe have a scan through the old ones for some tips.

if your charging at 5 amps each you will need a ten amp charger
5 x 2 = 10
but i would recomend a propeak 20 amp because then you can run other things like fans ect ect
