Any PSU would work, as long as it meets a few requirements:
- Stable 4.9-5.2V output. Don't just trust it if it says 5V. It may put out much less under heavy load and much more under minimal load.
- 3 amps per board. If you are running 3 boards, the power supply needs to be rated for at least 9 amps. More is fine, and is even preferable.
- Good cables/wire between power supply and boards. Wires that are too thin may make the voltage drop too low, and might even heat up and burn.
