Modding power supply by Boomburum
Hello. This post is unlikely to fill the brain with experienced modders with useful information - I place it only because public worklog is an obligatory part of the final contest . And the Modding blog, in my opinion, is more than suitable for this.
So let's go!
The basis was taken old NoNaMe power supply 250 watts. I was not going to insert it into the case of my computer (despite the fact that it would more than fit to power my 700MHz) - I initially positioned it as a separate external device. I wanted to improve it by allocating a separate function to it in my workplace - lighting.
He was terribly ugly, almost tightly clogged with dust - in general, "those times." And the first thing I did was rubbed it :) without a trace, deleted all existing stickers.
')
I unscrew the case - carefully I clean everything from dust with a brush. Five minutes later, the BP was like new;)
The next step, it was decided to unsolder all unnecessary braids. After 15 minutes, this task was completed - a couple of Mom and Dad molexes remained. Rang - everything is in place;)
The next step I painted the body in a glossy black color. I know that all my prints will remain on such a device, but it will be stored in a stationary place where no one will disturb him. And do not leave it as faceless gray.
Having found a suitable color in hobby stocks :) I started:
Already it looks amazing, as long as the dust does not stick, until it dries. I give dry. It has passed.
After painting the case, I decided to highlight the cooler from the inside. For this, I used a 3-diode lamp, which I soldered to the power supply circuit. The lamp itself, I liquid polyethylene securely mounted on the top of the housing.
I collect BP. I connect 220, turn on - normal flight. Spins, glows - zazhieil. I set the grill.
After that, I decide to attach to that part of the base unit that will be a “face” to me, a “pillow” of artificial leather. I cut the packing paralon of suitable sizes, fasten it on the lid of the PSU. Then firmly fasten the cut out piece of black leather. Now the power supply is not so easily soiled, but soft and fluffy :)
Then I decided to do something unusual from the area of ​​inclusion of power supplies. Namely:
Once I found some interesting device that was a diaphragm, which was opened manually up to a diameter of 4 cm (a scale was applied at the edges). Having drilled a hole for the wire on the back of the cover, I continued.
Taking a plexiglass tube (I will not tell the story of origin :)), I cut off a suitable piece. I am tinting at the edges, turning out the fixing-joining ring for the plexiglass tube and the back of the diaphragm.
Then I took a chrome tube, which is used in furniture, cut a piece along the length of the tube. At the ends, I install fixing consoles, in which I make special cuts for a neon thread.
I skip the neon thread through the tube and try to wrap the thread evenly along the chrome tube. I fix everything with liquid polyethylene.
I unsolder the power supply switch and pass the wire through the tube, then again I solder the wires to the switch. Attached to it is a similarly made switch for speakers. I fasten all this on a plexiglas circle pasted over with leather.
When the diaphragm is closed, it’s not immediately clear what the device is :) opening - we have two buttons - the power supply is turned on (red) and the button for turning on the power of the speakers (standard).
Pressing the red button turns on the power supply (this becomes noticeable only by the green light inside the power supply) and the neon thread lights up. In the dark is very beautiful.
I make a special stand made of plexiglass and plastic. I fasten on the very top of the table with a special molding. For centuries ;)
In addition, the PSU feeds the light for speakers and neonku. which I installed under the tabletop above the keyboard. The switch is in the same place. Now in the dark, I perfectly see all the buttons - there is no need to turn on external light.
