That’s the one I just orderedHonestly I would just buy the knock-off meanwell supplies, they cost half as much as you can have a spare on the shelf - http://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/power-supply-s-400-12/

Bought one of them and it lasted 10 minutes before dying. Not sure what caused it's death there were no faults in my wiring, and it was only powering 400 pixels at 30% on a differential receiver so not even tasking it. I put a new meanwell in and it's just done a months work without fault. Bought a couple of meanwells off mouser, not buying the cheap ones again to be honest, not worth the hassle. The mouser meanwell was great priced and free delivery to AU, only took a week Fedex.Honestly I would just buy the knock-off meanwell supplies, they cost half as much as you can have a spare on the shelf - http://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/power-supply-s-400-12/
Do you have any links explaining what extra work is involved and why I need to be braveIf you're brave, you could even use server power supplies, they do require a bit of extra work but they're usually cheap second hand and can supply huge power levels. Assuming you plan to use 12V lights.
I don't have any guides that I know of, but there are "breakout boards" that have been created for the most popular models, these either have screw terminals or plugs on a PCB that plugs into the PSU. More uncommon ones (most likely to be found cheap) will require searching online for the pinout to enable the PSU, from there you can use a multimeter to measure postive/negative, these are usually the biggest terminals or largest pieces of copper on the PCB that sticks out from the PSU.Do you have any links explaining what extra work is involved and why I need to be brave
