Thank you for your reply.
Thanks, a friend of mine, who has a Pro Audio company, did the machining of the parts.The chasis looks really nice. Congratulations to it.
The RB2011 will be mounted in front of the motherboard, see picture below.Where the RB2011 will be mounted? It is not clear for me from the pictures you have provided.
(motherbord showing on picture is a defected one just for test fiting, I wanted to put in an Intel S1200KPR Server Board (which is unfortunally out of production))
I'm planning to switch to longer antennas (with pigtails) which come in the front panel of the PC, so the antennas come above the 19" rack were the PC will be mounted in.You can power the RB2011 directly from PC power supply 12V branch (yellow-black). It will not have any influence on the performance. Just the antenas should be outside the metal box if you would like to use its wifi functionalities.
The newer version of the RB2011 board has an extra 2-pole connector, see picture (red square).What sockets are you talking about? You can use whatever 12V connector leading outside from your PSU. Just make some reduction to the power in connector of RB2011 if you do not want to solder the wires directly.
(the LEDs on the RB2011 board will be routed to the front panel by lite pipes, except for the very anoying blue led which I wil tape of)
You're right, maybe it's better to use a separate PSU for the RB2011 to have power all the time.There is maybe disadvantage: There will be no power for RB2011 when the PC mainboard will be off because it drives the power supply, so it will be off too...
