Subject: Re: [motm] Triple + Dual vs. bigger Triple power supply

I'll second Paul's advice. When recently expanding my cabinet, I subbed out the power one unit that came with my 900 with the HCBB version. Make sure you know what you're doing before doing this, however. I don't use the 5 volt output yet, but it's nice to know it's there if needed. Now I never have a problem with my 23 modules, including some blacet ones that draw a lot of power.

I would stick the Power One HCBB in there.
