Hey all!
I'm in the midst of planning a new build which should get off the ground shortly. One of the issues I'm running in to is what to do with all of the power bricks that are part of the equipment. I'm using the wet side/dry side arrangement, however, due to space limitations, the dry side isn't as large as one would like it. My goal is to keep everything contained within the stand or behind the stand.
I'm struggling with what to do about the power bricks. The radions run at 36V, apex has 12V and 24V, vortech is 24V. Its a mess. I'm hoping to run some of the 24V stuff (lighting and such) off the Apex 832, but its limited to 1.25 watts.
I've considered putting in a din rail with a 24V power supply and fusing every 24V item off of it. But then I still have the 12V and 36V issues. Haven't written it off yet, but am worried about how to keep the stuff from getting wet.
I've also considered using a box with a fan to stack the bricks up in behind the stand. It's not elegant, but it could work.
Any thoughts, comments, ideas, etc would be more than welcome!
