[time-nuts] Anybody want a Thunderbolt power supply?

Wow, given all the responses about the cleanliness of the power into a Thunderbolt, I would be even more interested in a power supply that did *not* leave the "last mile" up to me.  I would be more interested in a "pretty clean" power supply that I could just plug in and go.  Any thoughts of me actually wiring the last bit of it make me break out in a cold sweat and come face to face with my (established, and sadly slow-to-expand) limitations.

Maybe I'm the only one that would be interested in such a solution?  I hope not, but I can see that there is a lot to consider about such a thing.

Cheers!

OTOH, how many time-nuts have any interest in paying for a power supply that's up to time-nuts standards?  It's really not easy to bring a small product to market at a small price.  Even if you completely discount the personal effort of design, construction, and marketing, there's the issue of packaging.  Without a package, it's just an amateur effort not worth considering.  With a package, such as a Hammond box, the price moves into new territory and nobody's interested.

In the context of the present discussion -- powering a Tbolt for time-nuts use -- the first consideration would just be laughable and the second would be nothing but terminal laziness.

Best regards,
