    Question Alternative to Opus PS.................

    What is the best alternative to an Opus Power Supply? I don't want to just use an inverter. I still want it to shutdown automatically and also startup automatically.

    Can I just get the cheapest DC - DC PS I can find and add a startup/shutdown controller? If so, where can I get a startup/shutdown controller and for how much?

    Thanks alot, after along time of searching an replys would be great!

    I think maestro is selling a stand alone shutdown contoller for $30? And there really isnt such a thing as a "cheap" dc-dc psu. The "cheapest" are those 60w mini-itx psus, but they dont provide a clean 12v.
