Does anyone own one of these new Protek 40 amp power suppies.

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-138V-40A-520W

I am thinking about purchasing one for my new R/C shop, and was wondering if they are any good or worth the $140 price tag. I really like the compact design and the specs look great for the average R/C guy. I know that there are ways to build one out of an old HP server power supply, but I am just not a fan of having home made junk for my electronics gear in my house. Too much work, and too many variables that can go wrong if a mistake is made setting one up. Plus I just do not want to waste the time and effort to build my own. Building R/C's is my thing not building or modifying electronic equipment.

I just want a nice power supply that comes already made, has a great selection of attributes, and is made by a company or supplier who can be held liable if the product does not do what it is supposed to do, or it catches fire. You do not have that avenue if your using a home made or modified gadgit and it burns your house to the ground. Even your home owners insurance can void payment if your doing this. So watch out if your using one of those computer power supplies to charge your Lipos. Especially if it is not your house. You could end up with a very large $$$$$$$$ legal mess on your hands.

Plus you have to admit the setup on this thing is pretty handy with 5 output ports and a USB outlet. Plus with us living overseas traveling around the world the input voltage 100-240v is a nice feature for my situation. So whats the consensus on this thing?


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
