Me too. I opted for a heavier PowerOne (bought it from DigiKey) that puts
out not quite double the current of the MOTM 900, because I'm powering close
to 30 modules with it. It just mounts in the back and takes up no panel
space at all. I order the 12 connector power distribution boards from Paul
as my module complement grows, and have 3 of them in my cabinet now.
Someday Paul will get caught up with module development, and will possibly
offer his own wood cabinet and a power supply packaged for that purpose, but
for now you can diy.
Caveat: you should be a good enough solderer to be confident soldering
cables that will carry 120V AC. Screw this up and you'll blow a breaker, get
shocked, or maybe see some smoke.
