Hey all,
I’d like to rackmount my PS-2A but don’t want to buy another rack case. If I did, I’d get a shallow case so I could try and balance it on top of my deluxe reverb. That amp has such a shallow top panel.
However, I have a SKB 6U Roto Rack Case as it stands. I have a 1u furman power conditioner in the top slot and all the free room in the bottom portion for the PS-2A. I could add some sort of ventilation/cooling unit if needed?=. I’d use this case on its side as it doesn’t balance on my amp, and this way, I could plop it down next to my combo and still reach the knobs. I could even set it normally on the floor and use my amp heads on top of it.
Just wondering, I know the vents are above the power tubes and the fan vents out the same side… this would be horizontal and not a clear shot straight up for the heat to naturally rise straight out of the thing. Hence, maybe adding some sort of “pulls in air from the bottom and ejects it out the front or back,” type of cooling rack unit. I have man PC fans that are very silent, 60mm, 80mm, 92mm, 120mm, etc… I could mount some very high end PC fans above the tube vents and run them with a fan controller.
I had this already rigged for another pc project and it seems to fit perfectly. These are all connected by zip ties. As you can see in the image where I placed it above the vents. The one fan above the actual units cooling fan lines right up but since that fan has it covered, I could slide the whole thing the other direction and vent that exposed area without a fan.

It lines right up. Even the fan hub above the fan…
