Hello!
So I recently placed a preorder for a HAS to replace my current time harvest CBOX supergun for peace of mind, and I have some questions regarding what I need for the power supply, so some help would be appreciated as I'm not super familiar with a lot of the specifics regarding power delivery.
Firstly, I was planning on getting the mean well RT-65A, but I saw that there was a disclaimer in the FAQ that it may not provide enough power for all arcade boards, I'll be using it with a CPS2 and CPS3, I doubt those boards are drawing more than 65 Watts but I wanted to see if anyone has any input on if that'll be enough for my setup?
Secondly, I would really like to use an IEC socket with a power switch on it, to prevent needing to directly wire a cable to the PSU and to let me use my surge protector for my other retro consoles without powering on the supergun all the time. Is that something I can do or would it be a poor idea? Also, I'm somewhat unsure of how the Ground/neutral/live wires translate to the socket terminals, so if anyone has a simple graphic/resource on which pins are mapped to which wire I'd really appreciate it.
Lastly, I was wondering if anyone has any resources for a cover for the PSU? I've been having some trouble finding an easily obtainable one and don't have access to a 3D printer, so if anyone has any resources for that it'd be greatly appreciated! I did see there was one on the forum that's currently sold out, but I was a little hesitant on it since it seemed a bit expensive and had some extra features I didn't really feel I needed.
Thanks for any help y'all can provide!
