It's what? 1.2 amps i think, yes?  Four rows is seriously pushing it.
Maybe three, but you'll be stretching it to it's limit which is an
invitation for noise problems. Our supply is going to give you 3.2 and
completely over current protected. You plug a module in backwards, the
PSU will turn itself off before the fuse blows. The noise is properly
managed, there are a lot of benefits of an OEM supply.

Regarding the dot com $65 rack, that's a very sweet number indeed, but there's no way in heck we'll be able to match that.  While I haven't given them the bigger numbers yet, the cost of the parts alone is well over that.
