Smaller PSU in A4000
« on: March 09, 2007, 01:09:18 PM »
My A4000 is really cramped, and between the drives and the PSU there's a mass of crushed cables. I'd like to replace the PSU with a physically smaller one. I'm thinking of opening up the metal casing of the existing PSU and gutting it, then removing the front of it, which will mean I can tuck wires inside it. I'll then build a smaller PSU inside the casing.

Has anyone attempted anything like this who could offer me any advice? Like adapting an ATX PSU to work with the A4000 and doing the case modifications.

Hmm that doesn't sound too good. So what do we do when our A4000 PSUs start to fail? :-(
