Added a short <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="

Very nice, now you can just drill a small hole on the psu and stick that knob through it and you've just upgraded to an fma version! I should try this...although I don't really need to...should be fun (and maybe shocking;))

Yes, it is really such a simple idea. Now the inexpensive SH power supply I used (and modded) as described in my P4 article is looking like a REALLY attractive deal. $55 Cdn. One of the fans is on par with a Panaflo for noise & airflow, so you get a free fan (by pulling out the other one). Add a $1 pot & you have a PSU that is virtually silent on low but perfectly safe in hot weather with the fan set high.
