You're welcome guys. It's really hard to beat using a computer P/S considering the the power to price ratio. It's only when you get to the 20A+ that it gets tough to find a computer PS cheaply.

I thought about offering a "service" to mod a few PC powersupplies for my fellow forum members here and figured that by the time the person pays for shipping both ways, the loading resistors (if needed), and the PS itself, it would be just about as expensive as a retail 12v specific PS. And what would happen if the chosen PS didn't perform for some reason?

As far as online places, I go to Newegg because there are pictures you can use to verify the power ratings in case the website made a type-o. I was just browsing around and found this PS good for 34A at 12v! Price is $40+shipping but that's pretty good for the price. And according to the description and label, it only has one 12v output (which is good because if it had two 12 outputs, the total power at 12v would be split between the two).
