For me thats like buying a Porsche kit car for a VW bug, when what you really want is a Porsche 911. The kit works just fine for some, but its not worth the trade off for me.

The lab PSU's are also pretty nice, and worth comparing in general. Of course money is an issue for most of us these days.

Your comparison is really not an accurate vision of what the PC supplies deliver. They do not give sub-par performance under a glamorous skin. Not sure if you meant it that way or not.

I too looked all over for "made for RC" supplies. I just could not find one that fit my needs, and was at a reasonable cost. I found several in the 300'ish range that gave 1000W of power, but I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger. I finally forced myself to go wire up the PS's and install them in a carrying box (its the last post in the hommade power supply thread). Came out pretty good. Maybe this winter I'll tear it down and refine it.
