    Is this a hypothetical question, or do you have a link to the said 25A computer power supply???

  Pardon the rant of a curmudgeon of the subject of power supplies for 
electrics. As the son of a mother who was born in Scotland, I am 
always looking for value. I often see products being bought and used 
because a person or group with "credentials" uses them. As a group, 
we are a bunch of lemmings and whatever the anointed individual or 
group uses, we buy and use. Logic regarding value doesn't seem to 
enter the discussion. For example, a current "must have" for the 
electric-powered Pattern airplane guys is an Iota power supply. Will 
someone please tell me what this very fine power supply will do that 
a switching computer power supply from Geeks.com, with a 12 volt, 25 
amp output and costing less than $20, won't do?

I could go on regarding motors, ESCs, chargers and batteries, but 
I'll save those for other rants.
