I am surprised no one has mentioned getting a small bench power supply
and a handfull of the power adapter plugs.
I have two bench supplies that I consider invaluable in powering up

Duh. There's a whole pile of DIY versions at Instructibles.com showing
how to make such power supplies out of ATX PC power supplies.
