PSU mounting plate
« on: May 22, 2014, 06:48:36 pm »
I've read some posts suggesting cannibalising an old case to mount a PSU, but if I have to either spend my money on a suitable piece of hardware to perform that cut or on delivering a mounting plate, I may as well go for the plate.

Has anyone found a PSU mounting plate? I'd like to be able to mount it so that the fan is facing inwards and the electrical socket pokes out to the side, instead of routing a hole to let it protrude from the back.



Edit: I'm fairly sure it's a "standard" PSU, nothing odd about the design.
Edit 2: Would velcro work??

I hate to be rude, but did you click the picture? Like seriously, google "L Bracket". You'll find millions. Or head down to your local hardware store.

To be fair, those aren't run-of-the-mill L-brackets and I was a bit annoyed at the link that just sends you to Google.   :P

Not to be rude, but not all of us can guess the name of an item by its picture. I did click the picture and cos it just took me to google I assumed you put the hyperlink in wrong.

Just because this sort of thing is easy to you doesn't mean it's easy to the rest of us. Isn't  that the point of this forum?

Those are from aliexpress.com, and yes, I'm on my iPad, Safari mobile doesn't produce the full google url with search strings when you copy it.  ::)

OK. It makes sense now.   ;D

That's why I always test links when posting.   :angel:
