Guys, i've yet to understand to what date we have to sum this week of delay to. 17 of october? 25 of october? 30 of october?
And what's this expensive (for our pockets) component? Are you running out of capacitors? (avalon did, remember?)

Up.

Up. Plus:

Please tell me that there is a good reason to put the PSU air intake there, in a spot that once in a rack, no air can come trough.

And if such a good reason doesn't exist, i HAVE to conclude that it is only a rendering of a non existing case for something that will not ship anytime soon done and approved from people that doesn't have any idea of what they are doing.

Those are psu exhaust openings on the side.

Looo!! Cypher, have you opened a 'puter box open IRL? Cheesy

Not only is that an intake, but reversing teh fan would only make things worse, with PS sucking in the hot exhaust. If the intake on the side is blocked off by rack walls (it isn't, most racks don't block the sides), so would the exhaust Cheesy

No. Simon and I have talked specifically about this. Those are exhaust openings in the sides. In fact, one has to make provisions for this in their rack selection.

Sounds like utter bullshit to me. But if you could make a case for requiring custom power supplies (all the commercially-available PSs have intake there), or voiding the PS warranty by disassembling it & flipping the fan, you go right ahead -- i'm waiting Cheesy

PS: Flipping the fan would also kill its efficiency -- similar to flipping the fan on a downdraft CPU cooler. Cheesy
