Hi Eric,
I didn't have any specific model in mind. It has been quite a few years since I was in the market for power supplies. I did a quick search and found some interesting supplies from companies I never heard of before. MW has a model RSP-1000-48 that has 90 to 254 volt AC input and 48 volts DC output at 21 amps for $323 USD. The bad news is MW means "Mean Well". Did someone really name their company mean well? I also found one from the old reputable power supply company - Lambda. It didn't show a price, though, and appeared to be a very highly regulated supply for industrial use. I imagine it would be very expensive. Lambda appears to be owned by TDK now. Anyway, I will keep looking and let you know if I find anything.
