    Following your link I only see a front page of a site. No mod!

    Also no matter what I click on that frontpage of the site, I still get nothing else but the front page.

    What would be more efficient would be to remove the step-up and step-down circuits, along with the inverter - and have the PSU charging the battery directly (if possible), and the battery supplying the voltages when power fails. Perhaps this way you'd get more out of the battery than using the UPS in the same way as you would an external model (which would essentially be BATTERY->STEP UP->INVERTER->PSU->STEP DOWN->RECTIFY).

    I don't know if this would be possible, but it's something to think about?

    Ghetto is an understatement. I dont think there is a way to describe how ugly that thing is. (sorry if I sound like A jerk, but it really does look rather ugly, and 30-50 bucks would make it all better with a new case)

    Ugly sure, but the point was to prove that the concept could work.

    Bah, that's nothing. A guy I knew on a forum I used to frequent sold power supplies with UPSes built-in. Too bad he didn't sell them to end users, just the government. Really, this is just proving that a typical ATX case has the physical space to house a UPS.

    Uhhh... not to be a stickler for using a dremel... but maybe instead of only 3 hours of work, that you should have tried 4 and took more time and half-way made it look nice! :hehe:
