Hi Guys,
I hope this mandates a separate thread, but I have a very specific question to those electrically/electronically savvy.
As you probably know, there is an option to stick some taller cards into the S4M in a brickless HDPlex400 build by swapping the positions of the AC-DC and DC-ATX.
To do this, and not have to mod the case too much, the AC-DC unit needs to be sanded down around 2mms or so.
Here's where my question starts. I think the unit is painted with some special non-conductive layer on the outside, to make it safer and potentially less prone to passing current onto the case, just in case.
Is this actually true? Is it covered with something, or is it just the material it's made out of? Am I introducing any extra hazard by going with the sanding method?
Sorry if this is a lame/stupid question, and I really do appreciate your feedback.
I'm currently a happy owner of a S4M brickless build with a Inno3D 2060 with my own hand-made shorty cables, but really looking forward to maybe cram some power in there in the near future. I'm okay with making minor changes to the S4M like drilling some new mounting points etc. but don't want to butcher it with too much cutting.
