I was over at Monster Guts looking through the power supplies. It's time to start building a few props so I wanted to browse. Their standard power supply that they sell for props (12V DC, 5A) is listed at $20. As a "computer guy" (details later) I knew that this is ridiculously high retail for this part. Luckily they list the size of the barrel connector, so I found this:

Which is (as far as I can tell) completely identical, and even comes with a DC Female adapter for $9. The biggest thing about this one is the inner diameter of the barrel. You find a lot at 2.5mm, but not 2.1mm. That .4mm difference can make the adapter rattle around in the device and possibly lose connection.
Just figured I'd post this. I'll probably pick up a few this weekend for a coffin banger I want to make.
