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.

Re: Looking to upgrade the power supply

if you get a well known make and model, you should be able to get protective cover stl's on thingiverse

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility. Location Halifax UK

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.
