Power Supply HDPlex AC-DC and DC-DC combo

[hdplex]

Anyone have an idea for a SFX PSU sized bracket to house the HDPlex AC power cord module?

Maybe I should make one. I only have ATX bracket for the AC-DC module.

Yes, please.

Do you mean just the C14 inlet that the power cord plugs into? Because SFX isn't big enough to mount either the 300W/160W AC-DC or 30W DC-ATX to it.

You could have a double L bracket with two 60mm deep shelves to put the two units on.

 

[jeshikat]

Not sure what you mean, SFX is only 125mm wide but both the AC-DC and DC-ATX are longer than that.

Yes, I second that do please!

I guess what I was thinking is the bracket would be fastenable inside like the back plate of an SFX. You could then have the AC-DC (41mm) on one shelf and the DC/DC (25cm) on one above it.

Yes, exactly the C14 AC inlet. Also, will need to cover the slot left by the removed SFX PSU unit.

So the HDPLEX combo would just be sticking out lengthwise from the SFX plate?

Like this?

Yes, exactly! Does that exist as a product?

 

[jeshikat]

Not that I know of.

You could take this to your local machine shop and they could make you one:

Tell them 3mm aluminum or something.

Thank you... see if my wife can find one here in Siam. Will probably have to hope and pray that HDPLEX makes one! I like the logo on the ATX bracket.

Jedi Mind Trick:

"Larry, you will fully embrace SFF and thus develop/create a SFX bracket."

 

[jeshikat]

Larry, you will fully embrace SFF

Too late for that bud. According to Drew on the podcast, Larry already lives and breathes his DC-DC and AC-DC units

 

[ricochet]

But everyone knows that ATX format is for wannabe SFFers Just messing.

Isn't there a Silverstone case that was shown off at Computex that is otherwise ATX but only takes SFX PSUs?
I know Silverstone has a better lineup of small cases than most, but there's always hope with SFX PSUs having a good power density now and with NVIDIA trying to eliminate 3-4 way SLI we might see more mainstream case makers putting out one or two models with SFX touting it as a way to leave more space for radiators and drives.

That was Lian Li: https://smallformfactor.net/news/lian-li-shows-off-new-cases-sfx-bust

SilverStone does not currently have any plans to do a mATX or ATX case that only uses SFX.

 

[BirdofPrey]

Ah my bad, I knew someone did.
LianLi does a number of smaller cases as well, though.
