Re: NIN Custom Case

2007-09-24 by (i think you can figure that out)

The Power system has had a couple of upgrades since Alessandro first
took possesion of the system, but currently it's powered by a 1.7 amp
Power One supply which is mounted in the case behind the lower right
modules.

Power distribution is handled via a long linw of Plan B Model 1 boards
mounted on a single Vector rail which runs across the length of the
chassis at the center, hung about 4 inches from the back of the
modules and bolted to the front rail by a series of standoffs.  This
way it's not directly connected to the case wall and is somewhat
protected from bumping due to that.

the rails are Vector T struts. Do a search in this blog - they're
mentioned a few times on in this group. They are svailible at Mouser

hope this helps,

 P
