isn't there a step down treansformer taking 110vAC down to 12vAC then
rectified to 12vDC????

The LM79XX's will do you no good unless you have a source of
negative
voltage to feed them. This generally will mean a dc to dc
converter which
generally means switching regulators. Try putting your current
powersupply in a case and attach it directly to the MB's case and
use
feedthrough capacitors in the common case bulkheads to feed the dc
voltage in. Put fedtrough caps and ferite beads on the dc in to
the
powersuppply case. Cheep and will get you a good start to
eliminating the
noise. John

About $1.00 a piece from a couple sources I checked. So about $7.00
for
the PS voltages plus the dc input. (although some are sold only in
10
lots) if you have multiple projects to use them up in you can order
100
quantity for about $.50 each.

Just checked Newark Catalog They have an interesting item:
A feed through teminal block with built-in filter capacitors
part # 95F895X
where x = number of terminals from 2 to 6.

Just something interesting to look into.
They have a lot of ideas for cap/ferite/filter ideas.
