So I want to remove the stickers from my power-supply but when I tried to do this on a previous power-supply using a blow-drier, it still left a lot of glue. What is the best way to remove the stickers and the glue as well?

Do what you did last time. Get the blow dryer. Peel off the sticker.

Then get some alcohol and a rag and wet the rag with the alcohol. Then rub the glue off.

Nail polish remover or methylated spirits work too.

If you peel the sticker off very slowly there shouldn't be little to no residue left. But to be safe you should probably do as @Vitalius said anyway and have alcohol on standby.

Alcohol should work. I also use that to clean the glue residue on my car's windows.

Or you unplug it for a while when cleaning up the glue... or is the addiction too hard? 

:D
