I have to ask: Why are there no ventilation holes in the enclosure?

Great review. What's the "restricted the passive airflow" test methodology?

Fascinating. So would this sort of application not work? Here, the heat source is on the same side of the PGS as the heat sink.

Bonkers. So what is it used for commercially? I'm looking at some of the application demonstrations and it seems to be just this.

See above. How much heat can they realistically spread? 180 watts worth? If the sheet is really thin, then do we really have to worry much about the z axis?

It's working just fine, actually :) Still plenty of improvement to make though. I'm not really getting full use of my gtx 1080 since it throttles quite a bit at full load. I have been thinking through some new redesigns... Can you find an appropriate one to purchase? I could not. I have...

I can solve the GPU/CPU etc being fanless. I'm asking specifically: How could I get a fanless meanwell psu up to 400 watts? Which components on the PSU would i need to heat sink? Would just doing that be enough? Would I need to run two PSUs to do it?

What sort of voodoo would be required for this to run full-power components like a 250w GPU and 85w processor... fanless? Would you need multiple units? Could you replace the small included heatsinks with much larger ones?

Impactics, I think.

Yes, I used two of those for the gpu

It's not available at any store. I reached out to them directly.

Yup. Going to need some much shorter cables.

Yeah, Seasonic is more concerned with sealed cases without airflow :)

Not a chance. The chassis is open-air and there is plenty of ventilation. It's been running at full tilt for days now without incident. It doesn't even get warm :)

The GPU side is complete now, and performing famously. Let's talk CPU/Mobo/Ram, power supply and SSDs. I've made a motherboard tray out of black acrylic. Here we are cutting it to size: And cutting a notch for it to slide cleanly into the aluminum extrusion Drilling each...
