Hello all ! I want to design a small form factor(SFF) case for my ITX pc.But I am hoping to mount it seperate from the case & at a distance. Something like a laptop power brick fashion & mount it on the underside of my desk. So the cable length will be at max ~ 2ft from PSU to my mobo in the SFF case.
So, my questions are:
1. How bad would be the effects of noise in the cables from psu to mobo ? Do I need shielding ?
2. Can I use a lower gauge / thicker wire on each of the voltage rails at the PSU and then distribute it at the mobo connectors ?
3. Precautions to discharge the capacitor: Should I get electrical isolating gloves ?
