I will delete the link if you want me to.
Those look great, and I may grab one or two. However, I am mainly looking for external power. I am going to buy one of the power brick PSUs, but as I mentioned above, there are conflicting reports on whether to get the 5a or 6a one.
the 5amp works if it is well made.
the 6amp should be better as it has more over head.
5 x 12 = 60 watts
6 x 12 = 72 watts
this unit pull 40 to 50 watts.
50/60 = 83% just over the 80% rule for running gear 24.7.365
50/72 = 69% well under the 80% rule for running gear 24.7.365
