The kind of PSU you can get made using the best components is not easily available over here. I have blown motherboards due to so called factory made PSUs. Many of them do not even have a filter circuit at the end of the AC-DC converter, so you actually get very dirty DC.
If you are going to do a DIY, better go all the way. After all the argument is the same as assembling your PC yourself or letting Compaq/Dell doing it for you. |
In the real world people dont use oscilloscopes every time they are buying a PSU. I bought an Opus PSU simply because of their reputation, they could be making crap but most of their clients are happy with them, including me.
DIY is simply do it yourself there is no degree of it. The best part is that I decide how much i want to do myself someone else can make a fab and do their own CPUs for their own DIY fetish. There is no limit for going all the way in a DIY situation.
If you notice my post you will see that its my opinion about what i would do, i am not telling someone else not to buildt their own PSU.
I dont think the argument is the same as assembling your own PC or buying a ready made. No one really makes their own PC, not even Dell or Compaq. They also assemble from components that you or me can use. You are talking about trying to make each and every component. Why stop at the PSU, why not try making a hard disk next. Taking your DIY all the way, why even get a PSU made ? Make it your self.
cheers.
