Need Homes: 2U+,custom cases/psupp/fans
Yet another Westboro,MA giveaway: (Anyone teaching EE or Hobbies909?) Free and basically new: empty/nonstandard cases w/powersupp+fans. A dead project has left homeless ~15 cases, 19" wide, 24" deep, (19" wide == standard 18.5" distance between frontpanel mounting holes) 4.5" high == including .5" high rubber feet. (2U == 3.5", these are taller), semi-empty inside (a 13"x14"x3.5" area inside plus a 6"x8"x3.5" along psupply) 19" rackmountable , BUT, ***** NOT ***** set up for PC-based motherboard: does NOT include disk/floppy/usb brackets or any of THAT pc-ready stuff. http://webpages.charter.net/mquinty/case_top.JPG Each case has a 400W standard 12v/5v power supply, and (4) 3.5" fans already mounted (side exhaust) inside; a removable suitcase-strap-panel on the front as shown; (see picture case_front.JPG URL below..but it hides the switches below) also on front panel: 1 power switch; 2 LEDs, "Fan Fail" and "Power". http://webpages.charter.net/mquinty/case_front.JPG Even MORE Gory detail: Each case has a custom (now useless) NONstandard screw-post arrangement which you'd need to re-do (re-drill new holes as needed, may need shorter posts). So it's good if you have something REALLY CUSTOM you want mounted+powered. If you ask for just the power supplies, you're missing my mantra: these babies (CASES) need an inventive home or homes. -- doug mildram
