Why use the original power bricks, with the space claim and awful routing, instead of just going to a single dc/dc... either directly if no individual power control is needed, or to a relay block or switch block if automated / manual individual control is needed?

I remember seeing this great video where they built their own power supply for their mini rack. Quite a project but ended up being a pretty cool solution to the problem.

I haven’t found a solution for a single DC power supply I can connect to the systems. Maybe I have to solder something together myself.
