BTW USB is 5V but only 500mA

Good Morning: Thank You for your help I will order me some then Thanks

Since the output is DC, couldn't you buy 2 and hook the output in parralell to double the current?

You would probably be better off connecting the 0V lines together and to the 0V on the parallax board, then using the +5V from PSU 1 to supply servos 1 through 8 and the +5V from PSU 2 to supply servos 9 to 16.

Simply tying the PSUs together runs risks that are best avoided

Makes sense.
