just got my power supply today. Was going to set it up but the pics on the first page wont come up. Anyone know why ? Also does someone know where you can buy wire loom material like what the wires are in ? This would look nice in a plane to tidy up things

There's probably some web shlub at TigerDirect wondering why the heck their site is getting referral traffic from a modeling site.. LOL

Great thread again Mikey, inexpensive, and totally functional. Props.
