Nah, I don't think radio shack would have one with that much amps, doesn't hurt to check though (plus its probably cheaper online).  I purchased it online.  You can find them all over, not sure of the brand though. 

 

Hopefully I can get another update by tomorrow for hobbytalk.com etc.

What power supply are you using specifically?  I've got a 13.6V 3A power supply from Radio Shack but I'd like to get one with 4 or 5 amps instead (I'm sure RS has them, I just didn't look). 

My PL Enterprise already has 157 LEDs and I would like to add about 10-15 more.  I want to make sure that they get plenty of juice which means 3A won't do.

Thanks :).  I'm using a 12 volt 5000 milliamps (5.0 amps) adapter...each led has 20 ma in all.  The final build will probably have 200 + leds in all.  Probably you could get away with a 4 amp adapter.

Pretty impressive build.

I was pretty surprise that building an NCC can be that enjoyable.

BTW: what battery do you use to power them LEDs (please dont tell me your kit includes a miniature dilitium chamber).

 Above is my build log, about 6 pages thus far.  Currently I am working on the electrical part of the build.  Feel free to ask questions and give comments.  Some of you may know me from hobbytalk.com...I don't know how many users from hobbytalk are here though.  Oh well have a good night folks :).
