<B>My God</B>, that's awesome.
I will have a spare Maze1 once I'll have put my Maze1C+pelt in, so I think I will use it for my PSU.
I was wondering if the wires make any problems in the regulation of the PSU. They certainly add inductance to the leads of the transistors, but it may not be a big deal. Have you notice any more fluctuations of your voltages after this awesome mod?

You could certainly market these HDD coolers.
Does cooling a drive make it soundless? how?
I would consider cooling them because they heat up, particularly my SCSI drives. It sometimes leads to HDD crashes in the summer. They do get very hot. I use an air cooler on the drives, but they collect a lot of dust and everyonce in a while, they will need clean up.
Can you put the HDD cooler in sandwitch, thus cooling 2 drives?
