I am using a 8.5A switched PSU to drive my 16-panel STS/DIY system without any problems... I've added coils across the rails (to suppress any possible lo-freq hum), and use EMI/RFI Ferrites on the power cables going to the system (to suppress any possible hi-freq interference)... Cheap, reliable, powerful, super-stable, cool (literally), modern. And very lightweight.
The STS PSD's have been replaced by a more modern design with better decoupling (etc), though in reality it doesn't make much sense to decouple that far removed from the actual PCB's, and within the context of Serge's serial power distribution.
