Looking for ac adapter for consolised mvs


lavalyte

Question

I'm attempting to make a consolised MVS and to stop myself accidentally electrocuting I was looking for an off the shelf ac adapter that outputs 12v+5v DC @3A.

 

I found an old laptop adapter that claimed to output appropriately but my voltmeter says otherwise.

 

Can anyone point me to somewhere that sells what I'm after?

id look at a xbox 360 PSU

 

Looks like that's only 1A on the 5V output.

There are off the shelf "AC Adapter For Hard Disk" on ebay.

They supply 12v & 5v @ 2.5A

 

Use a resistor to drop the voltage from 5v to 4v.

Cheap enough to get one & try.

I mistyped (now corrected) it's 5V. 2.5A might be adequate. They seem to be cheap enough to attempt the experiment.

Be careful, Some listed say 2.5A (No photos!) but ALL the others with photo's say 2A.

 

Failing that, What about a standard arcade power supply?

I found this one - link

 

which specs as 3A.

 

I'll see how I go with it.

I could do an arcade power supply but I was looking for something neater.
