Kevin: Unfortunally they are not powerfull enough to power two 172W

. Not even the SP-500-24 wich delivers 20A @ 24V is enough. But I know that MeanWell has a 600W unit that puts out 25A @ 24V, but it also has some extra (unnecessary) functions that probably cost extra. Besides the 500W unit listed above costs $283! I don't even want to know how much the 600W unit is!

Thanx for the link tough, now I have some pointers to how much they are. Keep 'em comming!

Hielkos post got me thinking, I have been so focused on one medium sized PSU, but now I'm thinking about getting two less powerfull and slimmer units and mounting them on top of each other (if possible due to placement of wenting holes on the PSUs). Two S-350-24 (14.6A @ 24V) would do the trick, and they cost about $105 each (probably a bit more expensive here in Sweden though). Dimmensions are 230 x 115 x 50 mm, so they will both easily fit inside my case. Ok, now I have a backup plan if all else fails. One "minor" problem still remains, from where do I get these from within the European Union???

Any other ideas, manufacturers, retailers and/or links??? It's nice to some to choose from! And thanks again to all that have answered so far!!!
