Hi everyone,

I've searched around and there's a few threads with people asking about modern power supplies - but a lot of the references are for models that are now obsolete. It'd be awesome to see a managed thread or addition to the wiki (https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Hardware_guides) where we can update with the current suitable power supplies that are available to purchase? i.e. a list of modern PSU's that have high enough amperage on the 3.3/5V lines (besides the Corsair AX1200i which is stupid-expensive for this use case). There were also references to "Logisys" branded supplies of dubious quality: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=logisys+power+supply

But I'm in Australia and unsure I can even purchase that...

I have a full AT P-133 machine that's working fine (with an original PSU), and I found an ATX board (20-pin PSU connector socket) complete with RAM and a P-233MMX CPU hiding in a box... but I have no case or power supply for it. I'm considering making a reverse-sleeper, and put it into a modern white case and would MUCH prefer a new PSU with enough grunt on the 3.3/5V lines to power it (and I want to add a Voodoo 3dfx card to complete it).
