I got some bits and pieces today from AliExpress. It all appears to be of a very high quality. I also got a set of good (I think) mirrors and primary lens (the good type) but have chosen to leave those packages sealed until the build progresses to a point where I need them. Build hasn't started and judging by this rain won't for a while.
Plus I have the 50 watt tube already. The power supply appears to be well built and will handle a 100 watt tube should I eventually decide to upgrade.
Funny, I purchased an extra connector set (white plastic/something twist together 2 piece thing) and 5 metres of the good 5mm high voltage cable. I didn't realise the PSU came with it, it wasn't shown in the listing. Along with glasses suitable to the 10,600 nanometer tube (it sounds so much better than the pathetic 10.6um things, LOL). I've also ordered a good quality current control panel (all purchased when AliExpress recently had a sale and I've saved well over $100 off current prices) still somewhere in Aus posts system, hopefully.........
