A laptop 12v PSU should do the trick.

I had this one before I set up a Server power supply to power both of mine.

Cheers for the replies guys.
As it says it';s a 10amp  80watt  charger, do I not need a 10a psu for it?

Those ratings are generally the max amount of juice it can draw before things go south. Darrell';s link is a good one or you could save yourself some cash and use an old Lappy PSU.

I like that Xbox idea, especially how cheap you can find them. I actually have a couple lying around - dunno how I didn';t think of that sooner!

Yep did one ages ago out of the Xbox brick, they work very well indeed.

+1 for the xbox 360 power supply. really easy to convert.
cut the connector of, twist all wires of the same colour together. the big bunch of wires are + and -. and the 2 thin wires are twisted together or put on a switch.

Another option;

Industrial quality power supply compared to the "model trade type"  These are used in my CNC machines for stepper driver power supply. 

I use the 12v 30A version for all my 4 chargers and I charger all at once,  Advised to put in a project case/box and add 4mm banana outputs will last for years.

Now I need to get the soldering iron out and do a bit of tidying up
Cheers for the advice all!!
