CNC Shark Forum

I've seen a post about ordering led's and power supplies off EBAY from China. I can's seem to find any orange lights and am confused on which power supplies to order. This post is a couple years old and am wondering if anybody has any recommendations.

I was planning on purchasing the Shark HD3 but the HD with the 63" bed has made me wonder if this would be a better way to go. Would it be worth the extra $1,000 for the longer bed?
