What power supplies are you using?

I think many companies don't realize how many potential customers they are losing when they have no pictures and/or decent descriptions of the product. Take the new Integy 36 amp power supply for example. Enjoy the picture, because that's all you get. Sorry for venting, but it really "gets my goat" when companies are so lazy like this.

Well I'm running just a an ICE charger, but I'll be running two chargers soon. A Duratrax ICE and an Orion Advantage w/ LiPo. At this time I'm running a Integy 10amp/13.5 max psu, so I'm wanting to keep it light. Also I'm also trying to spend less than $150.
Thanks

I run a powertech (from jaycar) MP-3088 (25A, 30A peak), has volt/amp meter on front, multiple outputs, adjustable voltage, etc. but because it's a regulated unit, it's pretty big, and heavy.
I want to get a smaller unit, but all small psu's are generally switched mode, and "crap".
I'm considering the much more worlds 24A PSU.. but I've heard bad things at my local track (unit's failing) can anyone comment?
Here's a pic i took just then, here at work on my desk, doing some batt maintenance ready for tonight's racing. thats a CTX and CTX-D...
both less than a week old.

Looks like an Integy power supply,except the one they have is only 14amps. I'd rather get one that has a fan, I know the one I have now does not have one, but since I'm only running one charger it does not even get hot. A little warm but not hot.

14 amps is to low in my opinion for two chargers, especially since that is the max amps it puts out.

Well guys lets just say for the cost of the CE, MM, Radio Shack or rivergate you can get two of these shipped to your door.
I have had one for a year and half the other a year. Neither have ever even popped a fuse. Only once did I over draw from it and that was my mistake when I hooked up a super inefficent motor to the motor master.
http://www.buyreliant.com/psupplies/psv200.htm
They are 20amp supplies.
I use one for both MM chargers and the MM fan setup
and the other for MM motor master, lathe and Team Wave discharger.
-Shookie <><
Plus they are small. not as small as the CE or the MM but close.
