--- Quote from: matsadona on March 01, 2012, 07:20:15 am --- Ok, then I’m on the same page :P I did a similar thing on my MAME cabinet, but cut the plug on the powerstrip and soldered it directly on the panel connector. Didn’t put any fuse on it but used a lot of hot glue for isolation. Here’s a picture, but the powerstrip is just above… --- End quote --- Nice!!!! I like the way you mounted your computer!!! I mounted mine, the same way you did (but on the other side :) ) The black box on the right looks like a power amp. Do you have glued it to the bottom? PS. I used the same IEC Power Jack for my cab |

Thanks It is actually a subwoofer with a built in amplifier (standard 2.1 pc speaker system). I tossed away the satellites and use the amplifier to power two car speakers. And there is an opening at the front of the cabinet for the subwoofer vent. I used two L-brackets to secure the box in the cabinet. |

I have one question though, why settle for a powerstrip in this example. For my bartop, I'm just trying to power my monitor and PSU so I would only need two outlets. Do you think it would be an issue if I were to wire the male end of an IEC Y-cable like this http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-05215-Equalizer-Computer-Projector/dp/B001TP23EQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330961751&sr=8-2 instead of using a power strip? |

Can they work for what you are describing? Their rating certainly leads one to believe they could but I would make sure you don't have any feedback from the monitor. That could make a cheaper PSU quite angry. |
