Not the cheapest, out there (you can make one from an ATX PC power supply if so inclined), but I recently found and purchased a decent power supply capable of powering all your modding desires (within reason). It is cheap, however, compared to an industry grade power supply ($1000+ for a new agilent)

0-18 volts, 2 amps, constant voltage/constant current, Voltage and Current LCD displays: $58.95

Circuit Specialists Inc. - 0-2A; 0-18VDC adjustable DC Regulated Power Supply (CSI1802X)

They have a handful of other power supplies as well, but this one should suit most needs.

They have a nice 0-30 volt, 0-5 amp DC power supply with + and - outputs, cc/cv and LCD displays for $85.

Combined with a non-solder breadboard, you can prototype your new circuit design before actually building it, and experiment with new designs without wasting parts.

They're not agilent, but they're more than adequate for our purposes :2cool:
