MM U2-UFO and Horizon: The never ending 2 in 1 worklog (56k warning)

ranker,

A tip about the relay. Buy the Lian Li PSU plate. It comes in silver and black, and is generally meant for its V- and G- series cases. The PSU plate is held by four little 6-32 screws, and that can easily be tapped into any MM PSU opening. I plan to try to drill that plate for a relay and PSU cord as well, as soon as I figure out how to cramp in a Meanwell into the Optimax. At the very worst, the PSU gets borked, and you start on a second one, for a very nominal price (I believe under $10). The case won't get harmed.

I notice you chose a S150-15 and nota S150-24 or S320-24. Can the 15 volt model be turned up to 18 volts?

I myself use a ceramic tile under the Optimax PSU. I see that you have an affinity for the Silencer 750W. I am getting a bit irritated by the weight and noise of the 1kW and may look to the Silencer models as well. I won't be able to double up on the PSU until I move on from my Optimax because its just way too cramped. A Meanwell would mean (no pun) that I would have to give up the lower drive location as well, which places even more constraints on space.
