I have one called a Mastech HY3003D-2. It has two 0-30V, 3A outputs
that can be series or paralleled. I ran the 32 bit board plus hard
drive from one channel for maybe three weeks continually. The board
plus hard drive has run on a 40W open frame switcher 24/7 for over 7
years. I can run a fanless mini ITX from the lab supply no problem.
