Yea, mine came with a 360W 30A 12v Chinese led strip power supply, which failed pretty fast (Thread can be found here )
Was just wondering if there is anything better for similar price ranges. Any supplier better than the other? Or (As I assume) probably all from the same manufacturer?

A 12v load on the 5v line or the 12v line?Quote

ATX power supplies can be used to power 3D printers, but you need to add a minimum load on at least the 5V output to get them to work properly. A 12V auto brake light bulb will probably do. The regulation on the 12V output tends to be poorer than on the LED supplies, unless you get an expensive branded ATX PSU. This sometimes makes it difficult to get the heated bed up to 100C or so for printing ABS.
