I would strongly recoemnd adding some mains filtering. You can buy mains
filters from places like RS and Farnell (they are not cheap, though!).
It's pretty obvious how to link one up..
Has anyone ever tried to open up one of these filter modules? Most of the
ones I've seen seem to have the cases soldered closed, so they could be
taken apart, but are the compoents potted inside?

So, are you saying that the filter can has blade
terminals for the live
and neutral inputs/outputs?
It does, and it did. Today I crimped some spades onto an IEC cable, strapped
the earth to the PSU case and it ran happily all afternoon. As luck would
have it I found a mains receptacle in the spares bins that also had spades
as outputs so the can is out and the new receptacle is in. With a sheet
metal plate as a cover over the remaining hole it's business as usual :) You
can't tell it's new stuff.
