    Is this a private, or public shop? This is exactly what I want one day, private shop on a piece of agricultural land.

    That looks great
    One question, why not break down your power supplys? Its only 4-8 screws to separate the board and wire from the metal, should help the pricing.

    Good to know, so you will pay the same for power supplies,whether with or without the metal cases?

    Can save me a little bit of time then.

    the only advantage i have found is you gain the wire and can get more in a box minus the outer tin case. It may be worth if you have a few but with gaylord quanities its not worth the few extra bucks
