If you want to max out the power of Triton at 90 watts then use ANY brand that is 100+ WATTS and around 12-13.5 volts.

Radio shack, Pyramid,cosels seem to be popular. Converted pc power supplies also are popular.

Ok I have an old pc how do you take the power supply out?

Are you good with electronics, soldering and wiring?
