fails after a few years (heat related, usually), and you<br>
get extremely high ripple voltages.<br>

Personally I automatically replace all my provided POS<br>
supplies with high quality switching supplies from OEMs<br>
such as Delta within days of purchase just because I<br>
like reliable power, <br>

Note that I do not know what availablity you have, but<br>
the D-Link JTA0302B reportedly works (based on<br>
reports of others).<br>
<br>
As I recall, these are the same supplies as used for<br>
BeagleBone Blacks, so you might be able to find a<br>
match based on that.<br>

<div>Thanks Gary, and others, for descriptions of my power
alternatives. I'll take a look. Silicondust also wrote
back this morning saying a replacement would be $15
including shipping. Obviously if I can easily grab a
non-POS alternative I'll do that instead.<br>

The solution that occurs to me is to use an extra output of a PC
power supply if you have a server located in the same place. I'm
about to set up a NAS4Free server with an overspeced gold power
supply, and running my other devices off of it makes a lot of sense
to me.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had any experience with wiring a HDPrime, switch, cable
modem, or anything like that off of a PC power supply? A quick
search shows a lot of hits for converting a PC power supply to a
bench power supply, but nothing about using one to power both a
regular computer and external devices.<br>
