Thanks Jim...  I was going to try one of those to test the claims
made...  Even had someone offer to pay me my cost +$10 if I decided I
didn't want it after testing...

The business owner claims they are "quiet" and says there are
"counterfeits" being passed off as "his" power supplies.

Really would be nice to have a SMPS that was quiet, modular, and able to
be put in parallel for more power out...
