i want to add another psu to ma comp but i don't have the room for a full sized one. i was thinkin about mounting it inside a cdrom case but im not sure if it will work. if anybody has a guide to this mod it would be a huge help.
Don't recall where, but I did see this done before. Just so you know its out there somewhere. I can tell you I likely found the link from here or on that Hard site.
I would rather try to do it my self first cuz of all the extra psu's i got lying around but if that don't work i guess il try a 1u psu.
i had a link (now dead) to one that some guys mounted to a old PCI slot cover. simple mod, they did mention that they got shocked alot though.
heh i would just duct tapped it wherever i could find space. (if i had none inside, thats why they put tops on cases, so you can duct tape psus to em )
but.... whats not to look nice about duct tape? you can make purdy crossweave patterns that look schnazzy!
THIS MAN DESERVES AN AWARD for loyalty to computers everywhere on another note, that link to subsero place for making a slim PSU is gone, heres the new link here but surely if you make the PSU sand coat the inside with rubber or another non conductive material then it woul dbe alright, and would keep frying to a minimum
the 180w psu i use to run my system would be perfect for this but minesits uncovered at the bottom of my aluminum briefcase no room for that idea just a question why do ppl need an extra psu ???? geez i run 1 hdd a burner a dvd a geforce4 a xp2100+ 512 ram all on a 180W psu many ppl said i couldnt around where i live Yammosk
So they can put extra stuff in their case, but i dont need it for that, or wouldnt use it like that, i owuld just use slitters I want one so itll fit inside a PS1 case, which this will, just about!
1U PSU's are expensive, especially if you want a lot of power, 300w for example. I was looking at one for about $300 (£200), for my to be designed Cube PC. Also, the fans for 1U PSU's are loud, because they are smaller.
