Looking to upgrade the power supply
Hello all!,
I am looking to upgrade the powersupply in my MK2.5, as I run an LED strip and a RPi off the power supply.
I was hoping someone has some experience here and can point me in the right direction for a good replacement ( looking at around 400W).
I found this on EBay (UK) :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V33A-Home-Appliances-Power-Supply-Switching-Adapter-Transformer-Driver-400W/113047944909?epid=19020250028&hash=item1a522ebecd:g:H34AAOSws-tbGrZG&frcectupt=true
anyone got any better, more reputable brands/;links?
Cheers

I use a Meanwell RSP-500-12. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mean-Well-RSP-500-12-500W-AC-to-DC-Enclosed-Power-Supply-with-PFC-12V-DC-41-6A/332646356430?epid=13019170407&hash=item4d734495ce:g:irwAAOSwydta8xUw
Much more expensive than the one you are looking at on Ebay.

Seconding a reputable brand from a legitimate supplier. Do NOT cheap out; the corners that are cut to make them cheap can cause incredibly dangerous modes of failure with fire and electrocution hazards.
