Will that produce 3A, though? Most adapters like that (including the Radio Shack ones) are limited to 1A or less. Personally, I would be tempted to instead use an old ATX power supply. Just short the green wire to any black ground wire on the motherboard connector, and you get enough 5V and 12V current for all sorts of projects.
