I'm looking for completely silent power supplies.
I've seen one (made by a german company) that is $250!
Seeing as that's outrageous, I'm looking for another one.
Or, in the alternative, making my own. I'm considering buying a good quality power supply, removing the fans, and filling the power supply with a non-electically conductive, but thermally conductive epoxy. (And maybe putting a big heat sink on the back).
Some of the epoxy's I've found are as thermally conductive as:
7x fresh water
3x glass
100x air
1/100x aluminum
(to give you an idea about their effectiveness at moving heat)
The most thermally conductive epoxy/resins have the consistancy of peanut butter when uncured. Some are about 1/3rd as thermally conductive and are more like ketchup.
Any thoughts on how well this might work?
