12V 32A, silent, six quid:

and it's possible to tweak the voltage upwards:

Why does a Playstation need 32A?Â* Could it be perhaps 3.2A?

Looking at the moulding, it looks like the rating on the PSU is 23.5A at
12V, plus 0.6A at 5V. That is 285W

Some PC video cards are a fair chunk of that, plus 90 to 125W for the
processor, so it's not really surprising for a games console to need
that much.
