Group Buy for full ATX Linear PSU from Teradak

[dminches]

Can someone explain how one removes the back panel on the Streacom FC10 to make it easier to drill the holes necessary to fit the Teradak PS connector?

The connector is 29.75mm in diameter. So if you make a hole 30-31mm in diameter you will be fine.

 

Is your hole larger? The case opening seems larger than the diameter of my 30mm bit.

I'm considering replacing simple laptop brick driving a CAPS V4 variant in a Streamcom FC10 case with the Teradak ATX PSU. What, though, is the best backplate (SFX, Flex ATX or ATX)? How does one modify the case (pictures would be great)?

 

Similar to others, I did not use the back plate that Teradak provided. I drilled a 30mm hole where Streacom back plate goes and then used the provided Teradak back plate as a template to drill the 4 holes needed to attached the power cord. I purchased 4 nuts to use with the screws provided by Teradak to attach the power cord to the back of the FC10. I removed the back of the FC10 to do all this. It is much harder to do all the work with the back attached, but it is possible to do it that way.

Has anyone experienced the Teradak turning off by itself causing the PC to reboot? Of course it could be the PC but it never happened with the Pico PSU.

I modified my second case today. Here are 2 photos.

Quick question for people using a Teradak LPSU. Are you using it to also power a USB card or is it limited to the mobo and CPU?

[dminches]

On the version I have (the one from the group buy) there is an external 5V output which you may use to power a USB card.I'm not sure if this is a standard fitting. Ben would know best

 

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I have a Teradak and there are couple different 5V power connectors. What I am asking is if people use them or have they found that using an external power supply or a battery results in better sound.
