well she told me what she wanted and here is what she got, I must admit this will do everything she asks of it and more, was heaps better to build then our first one , and the smart box turned out good too.

Love your work Mr.

Nice looking build. I don't envy the task of putting all those holes into the stainless enclosure
Are you putting a fan and a vent in the stainless enclosure? Stainless is a terrible conductor of heat so things could get warm inside the enclosure once the power supplies start working.

Love how neat everything is, well done.
On the second box, do you have a vent any where? as a fan won't do anything if it is sealed.

Clean layout. Only suggestion is to tie the psu grounds together at the terminals. Don't rely on the 240V cables, extension boards or any chassis earthing to do this, you'll get crazy weird problems if any of those fail.

Even lights inside Lol. You could wire a button or connector and use them to test a controller output.
Also big thumbs up for the NEUTRIK etherCON connectors on the outside, even they look to be the Aliexpress equivalent .

Yes mate just waiting on a 90mm hole saw to show up then 2 vents will be fitted

Probably can’t see it in the picture mate but they are connected together

Yeah we are waiting on a round one to show up needed to longer then the one that came with the board

That's some nice neat work there mate, looks great. Thanks for the tip re the round cable too, I have one lying around and it will be better then the 90 style ribbon.

Where did you get the power injection boards from? I got some hexfuses but then realised removing stuff from the box is going to be a PITA once it's all wired up.

good job on the ground then Also not sure how you are planning on using one supply for injection only, essentially connecting that up to a string powered by the falcon will mean you then have 2 supplies in parallel.

Unless the psus are meanwells (or similar) which have load sharing and can do this.

Be careful that it is a 40 pin ribbon one. Most of the round 'IDE' cables are 40 pin connectors with 80 pin ribbon and are not suitable
