jmike:
Another bartop? :applaud: Looking forward to your progress. I haven't finished my first one ( :embarassed:). But I did start on that cocktail I asked you about.
Good luck!
:cheers:

Progress so far:
Put in fan to vent LCD. Note speaker is mounted at bottom of cab as per leapenlew's suggestion.
Drilled control panel.
Found PS with switch on back and put in jumper to ground PS ON. The blue clip on the main power header is an easy way to do this. Fan is reversed so it will blow air in at the bottom and the fan at the top of cab will blow air out.
Working on getting decased LCD parts together so it can be mounted in cabinet.
That's it for now.
IG-88:
Would you mind going into a little more detail on how you jumpered that PSU? What exactly is that jumper and where did you get it? How did you decide on which wire to jumper?
BobA:
On an ATX power supply ps on needs to be connected to a common or ground. Attached is also a picture of the connector I used to connect the two wires together without soldering or cutting. Please note that the connector is designed to connect a pigtail wire to a main wire. To get around this I use a drill bit and drill out the small bit of plastic that keeps you from using 2 main wires. Usually get the splice at auto supply shops.
IG-88:
So if I understand, you are jumping the 2 wires I have circled in the pic right? I've seen it done this way by a guy on the internets who sells bartops but he just puts a paper clip in each "hole" there-by jumping it that way. I like your idea alot better. :cheers:
