I have these things spread out EVERYWHERE......They are not consolodated.
I think you are seeking the answer to the wrong problem then. But, regardless.... amazon has a lot of cheap brand name high amp power bricks for monitors, printers, and laptops.
help me out then....what is the correct problem?

Guys, I know I could use a PSU, but like I said, I have these things spread out EVERYWHERE......They are not consolodated.
I am looking for a quality replacement power brick......wondering if anyone has a good source.

If you have more than 1 fpga board that are 12V fed...you need to get a modular psu like ones provided by corsair. The research would consist of google for which wires to use. The parts would consist of a bag of screw terminal 12v barrel connectors ($5). Bare minimum tools required, your teeth and a butter knife, possibly a multi meter to make sure your not getting trolled as to +/- of your modular psu wire sets. We are talking more time to flash a cainsmore card than to set up a power supply that can potentially feed all of your fpga's, increase efficiency, and decrease heat load.
Is there a good guide for using an ATX PSU with singles. Cablez is selling ready wires but I think they are too expensive.
You'll spend as much in time & parts + research, as buying your cables........................if not more.
I have some metal between my bricks until I get them set up with a proper PSU. I tried melting solder with them with no success, so hey, there's that 
The two I've got are still working fine (knock on wood). They do run hot, but they don't seem to be any hotter than my laptop power brick. I am running them on 220V, though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I am afraid I am gonna burn down my fucking house.
Any good advice on where to buy a good replacement? I have mine spread out, so doing a PSU is not exactly efficient.....

Even judging by how hot they get.. it makes you feel like something's just not right.
The answer...yes
Had two fail out of a batch of 8. Got two replacements, and within a week a third started to turn on and off intermittently. Got myself a Seasonic PSU after that.
