i lost the sides to this case...but it's the only case i have, and i just can't stand the noise anymore, and money is no issue ...cuz i don't have any:cries: so i have to figure sumthing out so i painted it black http://members.cox.net/mightgosoft/greyfolded.htm 9benice it's my first. and a good friend gave me this http://members.cox.net/mightgosoft/greyfolded2.htm so i figured i could just make the side panels completely acrylic, and then i did this http://members.cox.net/mightgosoft/greyfolded3.htm so basically... i was cutting a piece of 30"x36"acrylic safety glazing to make sides for my case which is 15.5"x16.5" and i cracked it, can i fix it?? or how can i work around it? i also want to make an acryilic fanduct for a 90mm intake fan to connect to the 60mm Tt volcano6cu+ on the HSF, delivering nothing but cool air to the HSF, i know that is common, but, what about a fanduct for exaust that would suck the hot air thats already being pushed from the top of the HSF slots and taking it out of the box instead all over it and out the psu? what do u think? oh ya what the heck is this ????is it a rheobus i found it in a PSUhttp://members.cox.net/mightgosoft/rheobus.htmit's the litle white knob with "102" & "c" on it , after cutting the blue stuff i discover the knob turns. what is it?
Welcome to the boards. You can't really "fix" the crack. You might be able to design around it, though. It's hard to get a sense of how bad the damage is from your pic. Can you cut a smaller piece and use some molding/sheet metal/ duct tape/whatever to conceal the crack? How about just trimming the edge of your panel with black electrical tape? You could even add some white (or whatever) auto pinstripe tape on top to make it look even more like trim.
thank u, glad 2 be here. your invisible case was what drew me to acrylics, that thing is tight !! what's up with this stuff i have..."glazing" ? what's different about it ? ne clue on thatthing, is it a rheobus ?
Glazing just means they're marketing it as a replacement for window glass. And that would appear to be a trimmer pot in your picture. It probably adjusts the output voltage slightly, but it's going to affect the PSUs output, so don't fiddle with it unless a) you know what you are about and b) you can confirm what it does. Rheobus is a voltage dropping device that adjusts the speed (by reducing the voltage) to just your fans.
To clarify... And to make thinks less clear: A trimming pot is actually a trimming potentiometer. By definition, a potentiometer is a manually adjustable, variable, electrical resistor, or Voltage Divider. It has a resistance element that is attached to the circuit by three contacts, or terminals. The ends of the resistance element are attached to two input voltage conductors of the circuit, and the third contact, attached to the output of the circuit, is usually a movable terminal that slides across the resistance element, effectively dividing it into two resistors. Since the position of the movable terminal determines what percentage of the input voltage will actually be applied to the circuit, the potentiometer can be used to vary the magnitude of the voltage; for this reason it is sometimes called a voltage divider. Typical uses of potentiometers are in radio volume controls and television brightness controls. A Rheostat is a variable resistor. It is a device whose resistance to electric current depends on the position of some mechanical element or control in the device. Typically a rheostat consists of a resistance element equipped with two contacts, or terminals, by which it is attached to a circuit: a fixed contact at one end and a sliding contact that can be moved along the resistance element. Electric current enters and leaves the resistance element through the contacts. By moving the sliding contact toward or away from the fixed contact, the length of the resistance element through which the current travels can be decreased or increased. In this way the current through the circuit can be increased or decreased. Rheostats are widely used for such purposes as controlling the speed of electric motors and dimming electric lights, but they have been replaced in many applications by systems based on semiconductor devices that waste far less power. The rheostat and the Potentiometer are often confused. The difference is, that a rheostat--being a single variable resistor will cause current to vary with its variation in resistance. The Potentiometer "picks off" a particular potential (voltage) along the Length of a non changing resistance, whose total "load" presented to the power supply is constant regardless of its setting.

that potentiometer is in a DELTA ELECTRONICS power supply, what does it do? also , any help/advice on the ducting?
PSU could be bust now The trim pot was probally set for factory fine tuning. They set it to output a certian power ammount, then "locked" it so that it stayed there. If you have turned it, I would highly reconsider ever using the supply again without MAJOR testing.
