Hi everyone,
Was just going through tower server listings on Ebay. I’m seeing my options decrease mainly due to not being able to fit a standard ATX/SFX PSU into some of these systems.
For example:
- Dell Precision T3600/T3610/T5810/T7820 series: PSU with a short height, seems to have about the length of a standard PSU.
- Lenovo ThinkStation P520 - although this looks like a TFX PSU from the outside, it’s actually a very different way to connect to the components inside.
- HP Z440: strange size of the PSU. I don’t think an ATX PSU can fit in there.
Now, I have failed in trying to find brackets to place normal PSUs in these configurations. The reason why I don’t purchase PSUs on Ebay is because I can’t exactly be sure if they are used or not, and I prefer purchasing new PSUs.
With that said, for everyone who purchases these tower workstations - how do you replace your PSUs?
Thanks.
Good tools are expensive and meant to last a lifetime, maybe more. A cheap tap and die set is a blessing for anodized sheet metal like in a computer case. Cheap materials, cheap tools.
