One handy source is laptop computor power supplys.
A common item, something I find around da house.
High current, tight regulation, small package, convenient voltages. What's not to like?
I use 'em to drive an LM317 constant current regulator.
Also have some 15V supplys layin' around. They were dirt cheap on e-bay so I bought a bunch.
Hope dat help.
