The Intelligence - Day 09
HELP DESIGN ONE ASPECT OF THIS MOD - READ ON... For everyone reading this log I have a design question in the middle of the log, with photos. I am asking for opinions and design ideas about how to mount the power supply. Please read the text before each pic to get an idea of what I am asking/thinking, and to possibly offer a solution that I havent yet considered. All help is appreciated ---- Ok, needed to remove the case hardware. Most of it was held on with screws that had square drives, so I walked over to the hw store and picked up one each of the sizes he had (s0,s1,s2,s3) turns out s1 did the trick  got the s1 bit, and a box wrench to drive it  all case hw removed, except for the zero-h id tag and serial number, ill do that tomr  Ok, so I started on an idea of how to best mount the psu. I spent about an hour testing different ideas (flush to back, flat, on side, standing on back in case pan, etc etc) none of which will work for one reason or the other (will cause too much cutting in back area (hinges, and feet issues, or interfere with switches that poke thru top lid etc)) Finally I came up with this fairly radical idea, tell me what you think....  made a couple of L-brackets   cut a piece of alu  Ok, so heres how it goes: aluminum riser, bonded to case bottom (nothing is bonded yet, just testing idea)  then the psu sits on the bar, with the right side concavity helping level it. (the back of the pc is the bottom of this pic) The two L-brackets in this pic are just temporary spacers (between rail and psu), they will be replaced by those two small scraps, bonded to the side of the rail. They are needed between psu and rail to allow mobo play   then the two custom L-brackets will be bonded to the case bottom. The one on the left has a screw hole cut to meet the atx screw, the bracket on the right has a hole that lines up with the 80mm fan screw, which would be removed and passed thru the bracket during mounting  the gap between the psu and the side of the case would be shimmed with a piece of alu, once I knew the final position of the psu wall. I would then make a duct for the psu exhaust, and a hole for the power cable, that went thru the back of the case and didnt mess witht he foot or the hinge. What do you guys think of this idea? I have tested all other options of mounting the psu that I can think of, and none of them are really feasible. All input and better suggestions are appreciated  needed to cut the exhaust fan screw holes, center punched...   back done...  side done (top when oriented correctly)  top exhaust, external shot  Thanks for watching! If you have skimmed this log and havent seen where you can offer input and design ideas for mounting the psu then please go back and read it again!

Honestly, the idea I had for the PSU before I read yours is sub-par to your idea CR. That seems really well thought out and the most logical. I'd go with your idea.

Yes this looks really good. My concern is the duct. Is the fan powerful enough to blow the exhaust through the duct to the outside of the case ?
From the look of it. A duct from the PSU to the top of the case will be shorter than the duct from the PSU to the side. What about having the PSU duct go to the top of the case. And then somehow mod the duct to have light shine from the inside ??? It'll look like a tunnel with light shining through it.... errr is it too much bling ? EDIT : This will involve cutting a hole on the top of the case.. Not sure if you wanna do it and when you open the case its gonna look ugly because the mouth of the duct is going to be exposed
