[R-390] Multiple 26Z5 sightings but HURRY

[Kenneth Arthur Crips]

RE: The 26Z5W

This topic as got me wondering. It goes without saying keeping the power 
supply in it's original configuration is the way to go.  But the Military 
changed out the 26Z5W's with diodes. I have been looking at solid state full 
wave rectifiers. These solid state modules could be mounted on a heat sink 
mounted on the power supply module and would be a nice looking as well as 
very functional change.  One thing you could do is to mount the full wave 
rectifiers on the heat sinks which are mounted on the CPU's in computers, 
here you have both a heat sink and a mounted fan to cool the whole thing. 
You could mount this setup on the back panel of the R390 so all of the heat 
generated by this setup would not be radiated inside the case. Combine this 
with a solid state voltage regulator mounted in place of the 3TF7 I don't 
think you could have a better setup.  These are just some thoughts on the 
matter.
