I hard-wired my BCS power supply last night. Very easy and no issues. There's a small phillips-head screw that holds the wall wart together. Remove that, pop open the enclosure and you'll see a wire soldered to each prong of the AC plug. I snipped those leaving as much length as possible (there's about 1 inch of wire). Removing the prongs is the hard part. Grasp both the inside and outside with pliers and bend twist until the prongs break. Hopefully, you'll leave a nice clean slit where the prong came through. Solder longer wires to the existing wires in the wall wart and pass through one of the slits. I used heat-shrink tubing to cover up the joint in the wires. I can post pics if needed.

Any chances of some pics?
