Is there any interest in new Amiga 3000D and 4000D power supplies?

@AMIGAZ:

Even with the stock psu, you can can often lower temperatures inside the A4000D quite a bit if you remove unused Zorro backplates and clean up amongst the cabling and expansions.

Or you can ofcourse go even further , check this link for an example.

@AMIGAZ:

Dont remove the floppy drive cover, that will stop air from moving inside most part of the computer. The psu will just suck more or less all the air from the closest and less "resistive" source which will be the floppy drive hole and thus the only area that will be cooled is the area between that hole and the psu fan.

@AMIGAZ:

Which plate is it - the 5.25" or 3.5" one? Btw, you could probably fabricate something quite good looking by taking a cover plate from a pc and epoxying two plastic pieces with holes in them to each side to be able to screw it there in the holes in the front.

@AMIGAZ:

What about mounting a floppy there as a blank to cover the hole? Or do you have one of those taller A2000-style diskdrives which doesnt allow a normal sized floppy to fit under it?

Btw, even a blank plastic cover without the grooves should look better than a hole.

@x56h34:

If I dont remember wrong, you can jumper the A3000 motherboard to manage without the PSU TICK signal. That would require an addition to the user-instructions, but it should still be rather straightforward.
