Don't buy that  5V-8A-40W power supply above because I did and it's only good for 4 erupters 2Amps and this is because it's not a regulated power supply.
I'm not sure, but the other 5V-5A below it probably isn't regulated either.

For those wondering what's the difference between a regulated and a non-regulated...
with a non-regulated the more amps you draw the greater voltage drop.
with a regulated power supply there's minimal or no voltage drop, which is important with the erupters.
