I found this site from googling 5v power supplies, I was going to order the parts and didn't find a 4A Bridge rectifier. I went back to check the schematic and in the picture it has a 1A ontop the bridge rectifier. Could someone that build it already or knows off hand, tell me weather i should get a 1amp bridge rectifier instead?

Thanks
