    Default 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?

    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

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

    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
