I have a handful of Power supplies...
The old Pyrmaid 30amp boat anchor used to be my choice, but now I do convert old PC supplies.

I put an in-line fuse holder & 15amp automotive fuse, & some female banana jacks on an old Dell 400+ watt. I have had no problem pulling 10 amps to break in mod motors on the ICE charger & the supply is reasonably sized.

Newegg has a hand full of "Single 12+ Rail" supplies for a reasonable price
You can definitely go bigger & "Dual Rail", but I don't know if there are any problems crossing rails.

Here are a few based on ratings...
