/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>switch to another box
could I potentially build this in to a pc case? or does it have to be in a separate box of sorts for some reason. i dont see why it would
>voltage/current meter
actually a pretty cool idea I'll probably do that
>strain relief
easily done. drill/cut hole in case, line hole with something not sharp and metal (electric tape, gasket(?), whatever) and hopefully some kind of strain relief on the cable itself
>i would put it in a box
ideally it gets mounted in a standard 5.25 bay at the front of the computer case, everything should ideally be internal. I may mount it in a small wood enclosure of sorts and that would let me stick a larger, slower, and therefore quieter fan on it
>TECs suck compared to compression
i know, but using them to cool PC components is a little more straight forward, and pc hardware works easily with them, and there is more documentation, even though there isn't a ton for either. the other advantage is that its a lot smaller of a system from what I've seen, which is really important as everything needs to fit in the case
here's a quick and dirty mockup of what things would look like, any reason that wouldn't work?
