Plexiglass Casing
« on: February 14, 2003, 09:34:00 AM »
Before i begin to build my plexiglass case i was wondering what if any, special considerations should be made to ground the mainboard and powersupply, is it safe just to mount the motherboard and psu on the plexiglass?  I would use some sort of spacer of course, maybe regular computer motherboard copper spacers or something along those lines.     Also, how much power does the xbox power supply produce? would i be able to power 2 lights, 2-3 fan's, along with the dvd drive and HD?  Any help would be appreciated!
