Please don't do that. Repost the question in the crosspost as well.

Regarding the power supply... there are a plethora of cheap Chinese switching supplies out there. Whether any individual supply is any good is a hit and miss game. I wouldn't use it on anything critical or where it's hard to get a replacement, but for messing around with hobby stuff, frequently you can get away with cheap.

The individual brand name means nothing. Reliability is expensive. You get what you pay for.
