To both you and Sergy:

Thank you! That's exactly what I should have done in the first place,
and would of, had I known... Oh well.

I'll place an order in the next day or two, meanwhile, anything I should
know about these supplies? I assume with my application I should be able
to simply hook them up and be done with it. Looks like they all have
overcurrent protection, so no fuses needed. I don't see any mention of
filter caps or such in the datasheet, so I assume they are relatively
foolproof other than making sure they can still get airflow.
