Just got a wheel, need some help
So I was lurking the forums the other night when I say the wheel discussions. I'm a pretty casual player but I have always wanted to try a ffb wheel. I know that the Official Microsoft wheel is not the best but I found one on Craigslist for 25 bucks, so I swooped on it. However, I get it home and notice that I don't have the power adapter for it, so it isn't really FFB afterall.
I found one on amazon for 30 but was wondering if anyone knows of somewhere I can get one cheaper. I know 55 out the door isn't that bad but its the principal of paying more for the adapter than the rest of it that makes me hesitant.
Thanks for any and all help. Hope to see some of you guys in game soon.

Thats the cheapest i can find mate.
I think I have an extra power supply from one of my old ones thatcrapped out. shoot me a pm with your mailing address.
Sent that info. Thanks for the help both of you :)
If JC's offer falls through you could always try to find an universal power suply. The output should then be 24Vdc (no more or less) and 625mA or more the A rating is a rating of what the power suply CAN put out not what it DOES put out.
So when buying a power suply for anything make sure the voltage is correct (+ or - 0.5 Volts) and the amperage is the same or higher than the original. Higher voltage will damage your equiptment higher amperage will NOT.
