Does anyone have any suggestions on a benchtop DC power supply which can supply up to 10A !? I'm looking online and I see a couple running for around $50-70, although I don't know anything about these brands and models....Or these websites for that matter (Jet.com?)...Any ideas?

They have a Yescom supply 30v 10A for $70 with zero reviews.....I'm apprehensive.

Pay the "I want to return it if I don't like it" price instead of the "no returns accepted" price.

 

The cheap Chinese supplies are good enough when they work. I've had to return one that didn't work right when heavily loaded. The next one from the same store shelf has been on my bench for about 6 years now.
High field failure rates are just a part of that attractive pricing point. You pay more to have less anxiety about equipment failure.

Seems to be true about many cheap Chinese electronics (especially on Ebay). You're either pleasantly surprised or the magic smoke flows freely and often

And then there are some really high quality electronics made in China - like iPhones.

Hi,

Yeah tomorrow i was thinking of doing something like that too, pickup some eggs, milk, and a new power supply

Seriously that price sounds too good to be true. 300 watt power supplies usually run about $150 USD although i guess you could get lucky.

Beware, some Newegg secondary sellers are very hard to deal with if the product you get is defective. It took me a month to get a refund on a TV that had a bad LCD screen. Buying directly from Newegg is different though, they are pretty good.

You may as well buy from eBay - your link says "sold and shipped by 'yes com'."

Who the hell is Yescom? Have you ever dealt with them?

OOH, OOH pick me! Bought an electric pressure cooker from them. Works good, but no understandable instructions. Got them form another Chinese brand of cooker.

 

This guy made a nice one for $25. Here is part one. Recently he has been making his own semiconductors.

A.H.W.

Pressure cooker? That's easy, Just randomly adjust things until the chicken is either cooked or propelled into the ceiling with great force.

Yeah, see I think I would feel more comfortable getting it directly from NewEgg if I decide to go this route. I've bought plenty of items from them to build pc's in the past and haven't had any customer service issues...Better price!

I agree about Newegg...BR-549's link shows a better price as well.

Of course this is the more enjoyable option- make it yourself! I'm thinking of doing just that if I can find the time to start a new endeavor. : )

The price is better on New Egg with that seller (not sold by New Egg Eventhough it is sold "through" Newegg.com). Probably very difficult to get a return processed.

 

...Basic Bench Top Power Supplies
One of the few items you can DIY economically.

 

Why not buy it directly from Yescom?
$59, free shipping
