Thanks for the replys. I ended up with a 32w computer power supply. Cost = 69.00. Paid another 4.99 for connectors and there you have it. Got it modded last night and works great. Thanks for the advice.


Edit: Sorry, 32 amps

no, I just stole that from google images. I'm waiting to see if my tax return, along with a Hyperion Duo, GFX, and a couple other chargers will cover the cost of the MM setup, i'll prolly get black

You know someone already said it in here but I have the MM 24A worlds series power supply right now and that if the only "true" power supply I have ever used.

I've owned 5 over the years and here's the real output

Claimed=Actual

25A=22A
20A=14A
6A=5A
18A=17A
MM WS PS 24A=24A

The MM was only one that was 100% accurate and i have never had an issue in the 2+ years i've been running it, other than a loud fan recently

Surely he would have to mean 32 amps 12v, there's so such thing as a 32 watt computer power supply, unless its a laptop supply?

Glad you got it worked out. In the future if you have a computer repair shop in your area be sure to check with them, they usually have an abundance of used PC power supplies laying around that sell for around $10-$15 a piece.
