    So... I got my Clevo today, and it's a Lovely beast to behold. :)

    I wonder thou, are there any dual PSU holders available for it like with the Acer Predator 21x?

    Not super important, but it would be neat.

    Anyone have a clue?

    I guess it would be quite easy, but it'd be even easier to buy one. ;-)

    Nothing that I am aware of to be fair.

    When you push them they can get hot and clamping them together is losing surface area from which to radiate heat. If you intend to push high end hardware to >500W total consumption I wouldn't do it.

    That's not a problem the P21X has to deal with of course, it temp or power throttles before you get much over 400W

    A few cable ties would do the job if that's acceptable to you

    I envision an enclosure with 80mm fans between the bricks (one at each end) for a push/pull cooling arrangement. :vbwink:

    That is only an idea or suggestion for someone wanting a project. I do not have anything like this in the works. But, it would be kind of cool.

    A holder with air gaps should do the trick just fine and not need power/have moving parts.

    Ok, now it's done.

    [​IMG]

    I've used a 20x20mm PVC square rod (couldn't find a black one for a decent price) between the PSU's and then two massive catstraps.

    Also, I got the Y-powercable.

    Acer's are prettier, but this works just fine.

    I'd post a step-by-step guide, but I basically already did. ;-)

    Yea... but that would be overdoing it I think. It's not very pretty either way, but it does work exactly as intended and so anyone thinking about doing something similar can easily improve on the concept.

    Might not be exactly what you’re looking to do, but here’s a quick and easy method to keep the power supplies off your desk space.
