I am on the waiting list to buy a Mendel90 from Nophead but it doesn't come with a PSU. I am thinking of purchasing this one Potential PSU.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a brand and place to buy online? (I live in Canada)

Thanks in advance.

So, I went ahead and bought the one from Tigerdirect as Nophead said it would work. In case anyone else was wondering which PSU to buy.

Thanks.

I'm currently using this one.

I've had no issues running the head bed, hot end, a raspberry pi, and a dedicated powered USB hub directly from it.

With a $20 rebate, it was $19.99 shipped.

Scooby,

The sense wire on this power supply is orange not brown, and is a slightly smaller gauge than the 3.3V orange wires. Aside from that, Nophead's wiring instructions within the documentation worked perfectly for me.
