Day 4Two systems need to two power supplies, so I had to make a custom bracket to hold them in their place. I used MDF to make U shaped form
MDF Stands for "medium density fiberboard." It is an engineered wood made from compressed and bonded wood fibers. MDF is very dense and stable, allowing for very fine tolerances when machined, and is used as a substrate for some sheet goods and doors.
First I glued the panels together and then hit some nails for extra strength
I printed out a template on 1:1 scale of the mounting and fan holes, I glued it to the back plate, and this will make it easy to cut everything out
Almost done now;
Now I need to make some adjustments to the holes to make the connectors fit
A first test-fit with two old and broken power supplies; thanks to the template everything fits perfectly
Time to glue everything together
And the last step is making 2 attachment rails so the rack can be installed inside the case securely.
The left rail is a bit shorter because of the custom layout inside the case, it will be a tight fit
