    I got a bargain on an Nemic-Lambda PSU last week, got it for 20€! It's rated 5V,30A and it's even got 'sense' inputs. (pretty useless for me since the power line will be split up)
    I'll post pics when I get home. I've been waiting for a chance to show it off.

You'll still have enough 12 volt power left over for your main power relay and your shutter, plus a few fans.

    Best thing is that it only costs $7.50!
