Ah, sorry about all of this, I don't think I made myself clear here. I
am not looking for some robust, high power, PSU type thing. Just
looking for some simple plug pack, 12V at 500mA, nothing too beefy at
all. I was currently paying around =A325 at Farnell for such a beast...

So i want something like that but cheaper

Any more idea's?

Thanks

Richard, I suggest that you talk to this company in Taiwan. I have
managed
to get very good prices for a "universal" power supply that works
with all
mains AC voltages in the world. I would also advise you not to even
think of
trying to make a PSU yourself since there are a lot of reglations
(EMI/CE/VDE/FCC etc) and a lot of fire and safety issues that you
don't even
want to think about.

I'm not sure if you're looking for an embedded PSU or a lump-in-lead
type.
The lump-in-lead is usually the best option since you can provide the
power
cable for different countries as a simple kettle plug type cable (as
I used
to call it when I lived in the UK!). This will drastically cut down
your
inventory costs since cables are cheap.
