Regulated Power Supply Kit from Ebay worth it ?

[zaraxisof]

Hi folks, has anyone tried buying  a  regulated power supply kit  from ebay , are they worth money ?
For stompboxes, pedal units and stuff like that ...
I was looking something like that:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-AC-to-DC-Regulated-Power-Supply-Module-DIY-Kit-LM317-1-25-12VUS-Srock/182043812309?hash=item2a62a821d5:g:RjsAAOSwu1VW2P~5:rk:6f:0

I was about to built my own with LM7812 , this one :

(i actually want a 12V regulated noiseless PSU only)

But i thought buying components etc would cost me about the same ...

As a 'diy build' sure, why not. 

Fairly cheap  ...  always a good experience to package and test a module like this .. with a bonus led display too.

Just be sure to be 'mains safe' if this is an early build  ..



For a simple, decent 12V  supply you could probably get something more 'packaged'  and completed.

But this is diy why not!

Ok thats what i was thinking about, i ll give a try. At least i guess it should be less noisy than an atx psu diy to power bench that i made in the past right?
