That being said I recently made a change in my shack that made a big improvement! I recently consolidated my 12VDC power requirements to one source. I purchased a Astron power supply. I chose the Astron 12A linear power supply w/switchable volt and amp meters (one meter that can display Volts or Amps with a flip of a switch), 12A ICS 9A continuous, 4-1/2x8x9in. It has no noisy fan, just a nice big heat sink on the back. It's not too big or heavy and provides enough current to maintain power requirements to probably up to 10 typical scanners. Smaller and larger models available. Some with one, two, or no meters at all to lower cost. Be sure to choose a 'liner' design over a 'switching' one. Switching power supplies generate RF noise/interference. If you sell off all your wall-warts you can probably raise enough cash to pay for it, with it's low price of just over a hundred bucks. I bought mine at GigaParts or $104.
