As per subject really… Tried farnell and RS with no joy.

I need to powr my Midibox LC I’m building… so any alternative solutions would also be helpful. I’d rather not use a PC PSU if possible.

Hi,

I do not have any info on where to get the unit you specified but I would like to suggest that you exercise caution in using a PC PSU for the MIDIbox. Most (all?) PC PSU are switching type supplies and do not regulate well until a minimum load is placed on them. This minimum load may be as much as 2 or 3 amps. The MIDIbox does not draw anywhere near that much current so the PSU output voltages may be significantly higher than expected (i.e. the 5 volt output may be as much as 7 volts). This may damage or destroy some of your hardware.

Just a word of caution :slight_smile:
