RE: Node 0 Woes - 12V distribution

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,



I built a DC Distribution Board in my Node Zero because of the number of
12 and 24 Volt DC devices.



I purchased industrial 12v (13.8v) and 24v supplies from E-Bay, floated
them across small sealed Battery and distributed via Automotive Blade
fuses, available down to 1A.

I am moving my main server to a new quiet chassis as the noise has now
become an issue - like a dripping tap or ticking clock, once you have
noticed it there is no hope for you. Problem is it means moving a load
of stuff out - coupled with the fact that I just bought a new 21"
widescreen monitor which means more rearrangement - The domino effect
has now started - "well if I take out the screen, chassis & cables
I
might as well paint the room..." etc. so I am resigned to it being a
bigger job than just swapping the chassis and screen - problem is when I
put it all back.

Now the problem - I have a bunch of plug-in PSUs and transformers for
Speakers, hubs, etc. and thought I might try and rationalise them. Can I
just source a decent quality 12V transformer and run all the 12V stuff
from some sort of distribution block? Has anyone done such a thing?
Anything I should be wary of? I guess a decent 12V tranny will be head
and shoulders better than the cheap Chinese ones that ship with many
devices. Any suggestions for the beast in question?

TIA

Tim.

Painting... in the is weather, I must be mad!
