Without giving too much away about my next project I wondered if someone can give me some pointer's on how to build the PSU with the isolation transformer etc.. mounted onto a board. I have had a look at instruction's from this site: http://homearcade.org/BBBB/acwiring.html and they seem relatively easy to follow, but my problem is what part's do I need to buy? The list that is there is:
1 AC Line Cord AKA Power Cord
*Self explanatory, I got this one!!!
2 Fuse & Fuse Holder
*What fuse/fuse holder
3 AC Line Filter
*????
4 AC Distribution Block
*????
5 Switching Power Supply AKA Switcher
*This I have also!
6 Isolation Transformer
*????
Where would I get these item's (in the UK) and what are they all called so I know what I am asking for.
For reference as to what I am on about:

It's going into a JAMMA setup so I want to do it the right way without any ATX psu's etc...
I hope I have not been too vague either as to what I am after!

Any ideas as to where I could buy these part's in the UK? I have tried maplin & none of them seem to be on the website, can't think of anywhere else to buy stuff like this. Thanks for the bob robert's link, I lost that in my bookmarks!
Regards.
