Yeah...those are some insane power supply needs. What about a regular computer power supply? Like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005

It's really cheap and has a 52A output on its 12V rail. I think that would be MORE than enough. I don't think I'll ever actually ping the 360watt maximum anyway, but this should be plenty if I do.

Has anyone ever modded a CPU power supply? I probably should be opening her up and soldering some bigger gauge wires onto the 12V output huh?

I'm thinking I might just go ahead and keep my ice. It'll be a good back up charger.

But I do need to get rid of some other crap I have lying around...
