The PSU

I decided to leave the psu outside the case. This has it advantages and disadvantages. From the LAN gamer´s perspective though, having an external psu doesn´t matter at all, since you have to carry a backpack for cables and keyboards and such anyway and the psu can be thrown in with the rest of the stuff. Besides, integrating the psu within the case would have made it much bulkier, thus ruining the whole pc-inside-a-display idea. There is another pro with the external psu. Outside, the psu takes in only room temperature air instead of hot air from the case. This way the rpm of the fan stays at its lowest all the time. No high rpm, no noise.



Connector

This 24-pin connector will be the only connector between the psu and the computer. just enough for 20-pin atx and 12 v and 5 v lines. I used thick speaker wire for the 5 and 12 volt lines to minimize the voltage drop.



Again I cut some plexy, this time to make a stand for the PSU.



The PSU is painted with the same metallic black as the stand for the display/computer. The metallic hose housing the wires was found from a local metal recycling center. It is similar to a shower hose, but thicker.



Added some leds, and rubber strips to cover them.
