Hello everyone,
as the title is suggesting I would like to share pictures of the case mod I did for my Supermicro SC 836 chassis rear window to fit a consumer PSU with SFX-L formfactor (SilverStone SX500-LG) into the SC 836 chassis.
This was done, because I needed the chassis as quite as possible and the 920SQs are somewhat difficult to get in Europe.
As I am working for a metalwork company I would happily build more of those if there a group of persons interested in a part like this.
Those parts would be lasercut items - so better quality than the prototype you are seeing on the pictures.
There is no "price" yet. I would happily take your ideas on what a good price would be.
If one of you would be interested in a similar project for another supermicro chassis: Please feel free to let me know. I have a SC 846A, SC 825, SC 826 right here and I would not hesitate to buy another chassis just to expand the portfolio of rear windows (if there is a group of 25+ persons interested)
(If you would like to use a different PSU - please include the type, so we can eventually check if the mounting points are the same)
The case mod is pretty straight forward (30 minutes)
Remove the parts for the modular PSUs housing (screws, some drilling out some rivets and cutting out one screw-thread - or don't do that and leave one screw unscrewed)
