Well... I made a little progress today with the Small System mods, despite a couple of self inflicted stab wounds.[emoji1]Took everything out of the rack and replaced the PDU with a CyberPower rack-mounted power strip. Doubled the number of outlets on the back of the rack. Had to shorten the cord, but instead of cutting it off inside the CyberPower strip itself, I just bought a 3 prong plug, cut the cord, and replaced the plug.
Then I put a Powercon connector on my patch panel and plugged the CyberPower power strip into it. I removed the vented rack panel that held the old marine style inlet, and I ordered a new 2U hinged vented rack door, to provide access to the inside of the rack... something I did not have previously. The only way to get in before was through the 2U door on the top of the rack.
And speaking of the 2U door on the top of the rack, I fixed what had been a slightly annoying mistake I made when Installed that door during my previous reworking project of my Small System. The door has a microphone jack installed on it on the right-hand side, and a USB/Electric Outlet on the left side. When I installed the USB/Electric Outlet, I cut the power cord too short, so the 2U door (which had been the only way to access the connections inside the rack) would not open up completely unless you reached in and unplugged it from the PDU. So today I used the part of the power cord I cut off of the CyberPower power strip (which was too long), to make a longer power cord for the USB/Electric Outlet. Now it opens all the way, AND, I put some cable management devices on the door to keep the power cable out of the way when the door is open (the same way I did it on my Large System).
Finally, I added a couple of 1/4" jacks to the patch panel that I'll connect to the Booth Out jacks on the back of my controller. I wanted to be able to use my monitors without having to run the cables out through the gap between the controller and 2U hinged door just above it. I don't use my monitors very often with my Small System, but I wanted to have that option without it being unsightly. [emoji4]
