The PS is fried in this machine also, so I was planning on mounting the
guts from a newish power supply inside the housing for the original.
The PS I'm going to be using is significantly smaller than the original.
This idea's appealing to me more and more, purely because I know I can do it
:)
So would you suggest installing metal standoffs with
nuts through new
oversized punched holes, or would you suggest drilling/tapping holes and
installing the standoffs directly? Or something else?
It depends on the available height from the base of the case as to whether a
standard backplate from an ATX case could be used instead...if I wasn't
using my PC for its sole purpose of watching TV right now I'd strip it down
and check. Failing that, direct standoffs would do.
