Seasonic SS-300FS 11-and-a-half-year update.

Post by aphonos » Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:59 am

Rather than bump a very old (May 2004 thread), I'm just starting a new thread.

The old Seasonic SS-300FS 300W PSU with the bent grills and the Panaflo L1A mod installed with elastomer mounting pins with the grill cut out and running in an Antec SLK-3700 case with a dedicated, ducted air supply finally gave up the ghost last week. One of the capacitors swelled. :cry:

This picture was taken October 19, 2003! :shock:

The machine functions as a backup server, so I just swapped in an old Seasonic 300 Tornado that was in a bin in the closet. Long live the Seasonics!

I figured some of the old hands around here might appreciate an update. :D This was my first quiet mod and quiet power supply. Vintage nostalgia.

What about a shot of the current state? With all the dust, please. :mrgreen:
And does that original Panaflo still spin quietly?

Yes, the Panaflo is still quiet. :)

No dust. Really. Go check it out....I posted some pics of the box this PSU used to live in.
