PSU Shroud!! help?

Neutral · 13 Sep 2016 at 09:42

Can anyone direct me to a place in London I can get one made?
I've been told local metal shops - well, god only knows in London!

My case is a Corsair 760T
PSU is an AX 760i

I'd like to cover up the cables + the psu box itself, as it doesn't match my build theme

Any ideas?

Aluminium I'd prefer but nothing wrong with acrylic

Might be cheaper to buy a new case?

Make one yourself? Bending acrylic or 2mm aluminium isn't difficult and you really only need one good bend.

I also want to cover the end, so that you can't see it front in

Is this easy?

Would B&Q sell the aluminium?

Ventilation would be important

eBya is good for that sort of thing, you can even get pre-anodised aluminum sheet. Capping the end will be a little trickier as you have to get the curve to match the bend but should be possible with just a little patience.

My PSU fan faces the bottom of the case for exhaust, and runs fanless pretty much all the time

Thanks mate, I'm sure my dad will be able to help (ex painter and decorator) loving this project i'm working on!
