Wow, can you point me to that $200 power supply? I have a (broken, needs a hard-to-find transistor replaced) Bio-Rad power supply lying around which lists at $6K -- though it has a whole lot of fancy features like the ability to do timed runs, the ability to do two different runs simultaneously, and so on and so forth.
Re your #2, what do you think about my comment to nativeprincess below?
I did not know about #3, that's good to know. (Haven't done any wet lab protein work yet.) Do you know if they'll set up properly in, say, a CO2 atmosphere?
FWIW, the folks working on the Open Gel Box 2.0 (details available on openwetware.org) have sourced platinum wire at reasonable expense for just that reason.
