Modern PSU check-in: what are you running?

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION
Not looking to start a brand war. I am putting together a spare setup for meetups and want something current, fused, and easy to replace.

What are you actually using, and have you measured it under load? Region matters too; I’m on 120V.

Whatever you choose, verify 5V DC and 9V AC at the plug before first use, then check 5V again with the computer running. A badge on the case is not a measurement.

Mine is a dual-output unit so the modem and C64 share one box. Less cable spaghetti at 2 a.m. It has been steady under load so far.

Following. My replacement supply is safe but enormous. It could defend the house.

Want to add to this transmission?
