Buy a cheap Power Supply or DIY/Mod my old PC PSU ?

I'd only got to watching the Korad fail video he did 6 years ago, I have lots to catch up on 

I've been looking at DPS5005 as well today, they seem a decent little unit

That's a switcher, isn't it?

Needs a DC supply to power it so it's really a glorified control panel rather than a fully functional PSU but if I can find a 40v 10a supply somewhere it could be useful

I have the luxury of time to decide on what to get though as most of the other things I've ordered, I've got to wait to be delivered from overseas which could take a while so I'm not rushing into anything

I haunted ebay for a while and eventually wound up with a few of the small older HP 6216A units in very nice shape. It took a bit a patience, but they are built like a tank and I paid no more than $60 inc shipping for any of them. I also found some BK 1651 triple output units at good prices, under $50 with shipping. They are solid units that were also sold by Tektronix as the CPS250 so a detailed service manual and schematic were available. I just got a nice BK bench DMM for $20 shipped (non-auto ranging). The bankruptcy of the ITT schools a couple years back flooded the market with a lot of decent equipment at good prices. No way could I build anything that approaches the quality of any of these units. Just my 2 cents.
