I agree, but I found out that a coarse measure for the quality of the supply is
just its weight. Plastic cases are lightweight and bad shielding. _No_ torroids
are lightweight and do not shield RF. So look for metal cases, many toroids
and the chance will be better that you will not have EMI problems with your
switching power supply.
The last one I kicked into the wastebin was delivered with my network
camera. (and it had nearly no weight) I had to replace it with a linear PS to
enjoy 80m on my K2.

A: Two. One to hold the giraffe and the other to fill the bathtub
with brightly colored machine tools.
