Wow, given all the responses about the cleanliness of the power into a
Thunderbolt, I would be even more interested in a power supply that did *not*
leave the "last mile" up to me. I would be more interested in a "pretty clean"
power supply that I could just plug in and go. Any thoughts of me actually
wiring the last bit of it make me break out in a cold sweat and come face to
face with my (established, and sadly slow-to-expand) limitations.
Maybe I'm the only one that would be interested in such a solution? I hope
not, but I can see that there is a lot to consider about such a thing.
Cheers!

OTOH, how many time-nuts have any interest in paying for a power supply that's
up to time-nuts standards? It's really not easy to bring a small product to
market at a small price. Even if you completely discount the personal effort
of design, construction, and marketing, there's the issue of packaging.
Without a package, it's just an amateur effort not worth considering. With a
package, such as a Hammond box, the price moves into new territory and nobody's
interested.

In the context of the present discussion -- powering a Tbolt for time-nuts use
-- the first consideration would just be laughable and the second would be
nothing but terminal laziness.
