[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1057169, member: 176704"] The 8A-10A power supply bricks are sold mainly for CCTV use - like those [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sis.html?_nkw=12V+8A+%2896W%29+AC+%2F+DC+POWER+Supply+ADAPTER+Transformer+Ideal+for+CCTV%2C+LCD+TV%27s+&_id=272565552973&&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2658']here.[/URL] I have an 8A one running several sat boxes and my Acer Veriton "Nettop" PC - and it still has some capacity to spare. Only issue can be the 12V plugs & sockets because the lower rated ones are the 2.1mm sort whereas the higher rated ones are 2.5mm - so one might need to buy an n-way splitter and make up some adapter leads (as I did). I also got a handful of these [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=inline+power+switch+12v&_sacat=0']in-line 12V switche[/URL]s so as to be able to switch individual units ON/OFF as required - better than having to plug/unplug those that don't have their own built-in switches (most don't) or leave them on for extended periods.
