skittlesRgood Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) im looking at getting a power supply to run my amps at home. I dont know a damn thing about them though. i think 20amps would be enough but having more is always nice. but the specs all seem to be about max output and im not sure what real output would be, if its the same trick they use with amps. ive also heard people talking here about moding them to run at 14v or 15v. not sure how to do that. im looking for a cheap option. needs to be really quiet. i came across these two so far. let me know if they are good. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182202 lets say, the most power I can get for $50.

skittlesRgood Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 What you should look at is the amps on the +12v rail(s) well ya, i figured i didnt want to use the 5v rail lol. for longevity the first one will be better becuase of the 2 12v rails.... ok. i just got my hands on some power supplies for these racks we make at work. we were going to throw them out because they are an old model. i was told two of them can do something like 1500w. we will see if that works out.
