Blog 4, Curtis Klein

Find the power supply Powerstax plc. Tell me any information you understand about it, but tell me in laymans terms (pretend I am your mom wanting to know). Also tell me where I could purchase it and see ifyou can find out the approximate cost. What types of power supplies do they have, how many different series? How are they rated? You may need to do a little research for this information.
How helpful would this website be if you needed information about your power supply?

Powerstax plc. has a very high rating overall: 4 out of 5 stars according to the Power Supplies Manufacturer database, also getting 4 out of 5 stars for customer satisfaction. Their products may be purchased online, over the phone or in person at one of their distributors. A full list of distributors is available at http://www.powerstaxplc.com/sales/sales-partners-north-america/ , however the closest location to Reno is at:
E Purchasing Solutions Inc.
48521 Warm Springs Blvd. Suite 313
Fremont, CA 94539

Powerstax plc. has 13 different power supplies that can be used with wall (AC) power, along with many other types of power supplies and power products that have more specialized uses. They are rated at up to 1450W and have a 5W/in3 power density. Or, as I would say to my mother; “They carry the power supply you need, we just have to find the right one”. Although it is difficult to get the prices, I located a website, http://www.peaktopeakpower.com/ac-dc-power-supplies , that does have prices listed. They range from $14.00 and up. I was surprised at how cheap they are, but that is the quoted price (plus S&H of course). The other websites will only send prices upon a specific quote request, and powerstaxplc.com does not list any prices at all. So far they none of the distributors or powerstaxplc have not answered any of my phone calls.
This website, along with their distributor’s websites, would be very helpful in finding the correct power supply needed. They give a lot of detail about their power supplies, however if you do not already know what you need, this website will probably be of little use in determining your needs. Due to the fact that they do not post their prices in an easily comparable form, and that their customer service departments are not very responsive, I get the feeling that dealing with them could become a very frustrating experience.
