Subject: Building Powerone PSU in cabinet?
From: Robert van der Kamp <robnet@...>

Hi,
I just finished my first cabinet (a wooden 19" case, 16 HE
high, 10 inch deep), and would like to install the PowerOne
PSU's from my 900 and 950 kits directly in the cabinet.
Any suggestions/tips? For example, is heat a problem when
mounting the PSU directly on the wood? Or should I use
spacers?
My plan is to mount a power strip in the cabinet, place both
PSUs in the cabinet, and connect both of them with the
power strip using standard power cables. I'll also power my
little MCV from that strip.
Then one cable is leaving the cabinet (the one from the
strip) and this will be connected with another strip which
has a switch, so that I can switch on/off the whole modular
in one go. A future second cabinet will end up in that same
switched power strip.
Good? Bad?
