Considering they sell PC power supplies for $10 around the US, unless you spring the $ for a good one you really can't expect much out of them. Ratings are often only peak and that's with even loads across the board. One with a good solid single 12V rail will cost you but they do not last forever as they weren't designed to. Things are changing as the motherboards and graphic cards increasingly depend on the 12V rail but unless you're ready to spend some $ don't rely on one as any sort of a power source as you're wanting it to supply.
Is it that hard to find an old (but still acceptable) car battery over there?
I would NOT consider a bare battery charger as there's rarely if ever any filtering or regulation in them unless hooked up to a battery.
