Hi Wayne,

Yeah great little power supply I may get one myself. another cool thing about 
that place is they give some nice promos. any order over 50 dollars gets one of 
these items for free. I have a few of the Digital multi-meters they gave away.

Some things I would rather build too but it would be for the fun of the 
building not to save money. As you found out   

Take care,
