does anyone know where to find a reasonably priced 100 . . . 200 watt power supply or transformer?· the cheapest ones i've found are the pc power supplies in the newark catalog about $100.00.· however, i would think there would be like tv or microwave transformers cheaper?

    Check for an old, used PC at some computer shops. Even a brand new PC
    case that comes with a power supply is only $50.

    I use a 300W PowerMan switching supply out of an Inwin case. The dc is very
    clean and with over 35 amps on the +5v rail you should have plenty. This
    cost me $55.00 cnd.
