    Worth the price

    posted by smints on 11/29/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Relatively inexpensive, and a useful product for DIY projects or replacement of power modules. Easy to use, and reasonable available (nominal) power. There should be no problems with heat dissipation.
    Cons:
    None that I’m aware of, as long as you treat it carefully, because voltage adjustment is a bit fragile and the variable resisto...

    Great little PSU!

    posted by yvanoers on 11/17/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    - Great value for money - Has a regulator to allow adjusting output voltage from (in my case) 4.5V to 5.5V - Small - Convenient holes for easy access to connectors and regulator
    Cons:
    - Housing assembly could have been a little better if the top cover was bolted instead of snapping in.

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Very inexpensive. Perfect for DIY projects. Nice and small. Surprisingly stable output. Trimmer on the output level came in handy when getting the voltage to spec at the test points on my Raspberry Pi.
    Cons:
    It looks like it was put together in a hurry, which I guess is not surprising given the price, but it works well. I would pref...
