Why not right? $10 powder coated or $9 unfinished. Colors are black or red and shipping is at cost via UPS or USPS.

There are 1.68" wide mounting holes under the Spinneret for custom boards, power supplies, optos etc.

    Dang! If only you could have pulled power off the PCI bus and provide a connector!

    Nice accessory!

    Thank you Rick. I figured people would want to use external power, but I am developing a board that can use a SATA power connector. The unfinished ones are great for drilling a hole to pass though power or sensors.

    I also have some code I'm trying to clean up to monitor the computers power status, power button, and standby power. One great use for this is a computer with a UPS. When the power goes out long enough the UPS shuts down the computer gracefully. Then the AC power comes back on and the computer sits there in the off state. This can monitor your AC using an inductive loop on the cord between the outlet and the UPS. When it detects power it waits for a brown out condition, then powers the PC back on.

    Everything is protected using optos and a small relay for the power switch.

    When my daughter board is done I can post downloads for it as well.
