Re: Trying to repair a HP Z800 850W PSU by Delta

Thx @Curious.George for the detailed answer!

I totally forgot my post here. So I will try to give an short update to my Z800 PSU story.
After weighing up the risks I gave it a try with a conventionel PSU. I bought a 850W PSU from the japanese company Thermaltake. Removed the origininal PSU and all cables. Detailed manual in the Link of my first post.
Now to the problem where to place the PSU. I tried to put the PSU in front of the case. It is attached on a metal plate wich is connected with the Z800 tower....

Hello,
I am confronted with the same problem. The prices for a used HP PSU here in europe start with 150USD. That's too much money for trash. A new one is over budget. So I was looking for alternative solutions. My plan now ist to build in a conventional PSU which will sit on top of the Z800 case. I found someone doing kind of the same thing.

The text section “The power supply” describes it pretty accurate.

What is your opinion about this solution....
