[Mike Bracey]

 Charles,
I'm interested in your p/s. Could you give us details of your design when you have a chance?

 Having nearly completed my boatanchor power supply (24-28 volts 
unregulated at 150 amps), I have some difficulty in moving it due to the 
50+ lb. weight.

The aluminum rack front panel is 1/4" thick, and I've added diagonal 
struts to the chassis, so the panel can take the weight once installed 
in my rack cabinet. But it would be much easier if I had a pair of 
handles mounted to the front. I've done some searching on ebay and there 
are plenty of equipment handles, but most are small diameter (hard on 
the hands and wrists) and I'd also be concerned that the mounting screws 
would break under the load unless the chassis were held vertically.

Looking for recommendations for hefty handles that also look like they 
belong there and not on a door ;) thanks.
