I use this list as a guide on power supplies, linky below. These are |
| 33 |
tested and graded as to the quality of the power supply. Nothing is |
| 34 |
perfect but short of buying all the equipment and power supplies then |
| 35 |
testing them yourself, this is as close as it gets. |

The first post is really all you need to look at. As they test them, |
| 41 |
they update that first post. At least you may can tell what brand does |
| 42 |
better than others. |

Hope that helps. |
