Double PSU

After a little talk with jdbnsn, I've decided to gave a second live to an old mod I've done a long time ago.

First the build of the casing

Mesh on the front and top, plexi on the sides

and a 120mm at bottom

inside view from the rear

outside view from the front

Then I put the 2 PSU back to back with a plexi plate in between

And fit them inside the case, passing the wires in the holes

Add a round ccfl on the 120mm fan

and finally build the back plate for the PSU with 2 Blue leds 80mm fans

as you can see, it needed 2 wires connections, I could have put only one, splitted inside the case. But only a dual switch was needed.

The final piece with a laser cut grill to prevent for electric shocks ;)

Inside the case:

Wow. But why would you need that many watts, that you'd need 2 PSU's?

At that time, the bigger PSU was at 420W I already had 6 HDDs, alot of lightning (wich I dont have anymore) more then 15 fans alot of OC. The second PSU was for the fans and lightning

Have you got a diagram with the wiring instructions fo jack another psu to start at the same time?

Cheers :up:

This is done by connecting the Green wires on each power supply and the ground wires on each power supply. If I remember well, it's the 13th pin for the ground and the 14th for the power. Just google it, There's a couple of site that explain how. For my part, I cut all unwanted wires on the second PSU

I love this, it's a great idea! You did a damn fine job makin it all shiny too!

Must run pretty hot with two PSU's together. But you have enough fans there. Good work. :up:

Thanks alot wicked work btw!

Thx for the comments :)

As for the fans, what's inside the PSU is just a couple, With the mesh on top, I add a couple there too

Great mod. I might even think about making a 3 PSU mod :p

since you did this and lived, what would you recommend to others, as far as safety goes?

What tools/gear did you use?

Thanks, I'm sure your brilliant mod has inspired others :D!

Thx. I'll try to remember everything I used, and I'll get back to you ;)

Nice mod!

Gives me some ideas for upcoming project (Interocitor Mk. 15) I may need to save space so maybe I could do something similar with 2 Micro ATX PSUs.

Nice!

Ouch!

Thank you sir. I'm working on a double system case and you just gave me an entirely new path to travel as far as mounting the PSU's.

You could do four 1kw psus. wire them like this.

I know a guy im fixing to have to do 2 1kw's for., so i might keep this mod in mind. Good Work!
