Cheers @ian_bird. I plan on using the PSU with the Pegasus hub which has the built in dew controller so i'll only be able to use either a linear or a switching mode PSU. 

I have settled my mind on a Linear PSU but the one FLO (Nevada PS06-8) sells is just not going to be enough Amps for what i want to use and the next available Linear PSU is 30A which starts from around £100 .... a fair jump from £35 to - £100 ... i was looking to settle at 10A - 15A and the only available option out there is Out of stock. 

Am really in a pickle here where i have no means to power my gear lol good thing is that it's still cloudy.

I have one of these, absolutely brilliant, very quiet and has all the options for connection that you could imagine and is light at 2.3Kgs: -

I also have one of these that I run for for powering my laptop as this can draw quite a bit when exercising the HDD: -

Apparently these can be butchered to output 12.5 v at about 14 amps

Cheers @knobby that certainly looks very interesting. Unfortunately my electronic skills are as much as the size of an ants brain :(

Cheers @Jkulin, i know the switched mode PS have worked out well for so many but it only makes sense for me to go linear when powering sensitive gear.

I've got a spare 10A SM one you can borrow until you got yours mate.  At least you'll be able to fire everything up.  I'm up town tomorrow round the corner from you so can meet up and drop it off.

Top man !
