Eurorack Go power restrictions:
you should leave headroom on all rails? 25-30% is a good idea... so when it says 1A... you should really only try to power 750mA of modules... this is to allow for inaccuracies in stated power consumption and higher inrush requirements (more power than stated needed on power up) of digital modules...
you're over on the -12v rail by nearly 15%
this may cause all sorts of issues - primarily not powering on properly... ie it won't work
this case is undepowered for it's size... especially when trying to power a lot of digital modules, it's probably fine when filled with mostly lower power drawing analog modules

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities

I have a second power supply to the right of the Bartender.
so you do... didn't spot it before...

Thanks though. I could have used that info last year, shortly after I got my Tip Top Happy Ending kit and didn't realize that the rating on the PSU module is TWICE the included wall wart is rated for. I was overloading what I thought was a perfectly fine power supply because the wall wart is only rated for 1000mA but the module can handle 2000mA. I thought that was pretty poor execution on their part. Who knows who else is running this thing too hot because they grew off of that kit?
