I use a PC PSU for mine, as Patrick says, it is overkill though - I just
had a bunch of them spare.

One thing - a warning from a certain Keith Doxey that I took to heart...
the PC's PSU can deliver more than 20A of current on it's 5V line -
easily enough to start a fire if it get's shorted out - so grab some
in-line fuse holders from Craplins, and stick a fuse in there!!
