I'm new to electronics (haven't put together any circuits yet) and just ordered a power supply from this seller very similar to the following:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIGITAL-SOLID-STATE-POWER-SUPPLY-MDL-20500D-GUARANTEED-/200526546973This is the 20500D:
I picked up the 20500C because it looked like it had superior adjustment capability.
Here is the company but I haven't been able to find any really good info on the one I bought:

20500D
ECI's most popular power supply for general lab use. Designed to withstand use in the classroom, this durable instrument has a three-year warranty.
Features:
0-25 VDC voltage, 1.2 amp, fixed +5 VDC, 2 amp, and fixed 12.6 VAC, 1 amp center tapped source.
Large 3-digit, 7-segment LED display.
Flashing LED overload indicators.
Short circuit and reverse voltage protected.
Overload shutdown protection at 2 amps fixed.
All outputs available simultaneously.
Anyway, was this a good find for 50$ shipped? And does anyone have any info on the one I bought? How would you rate the quality of these power supplies? They look like they're used in school labs.
Edit: It looks like it doesn't include any cables, what kind of cables would I need to buy for this?
