Hey, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!dfuruta wrote:two prong cords are hot and neutral, and so you want to replace those with hot and neutral from your 3 prong cord. the third wire on your 3 prong cord, the safety earth, should be connected by as short a piece of wire as feasible to the metal chassis as solidly as possible (use a spade terminal or something similar attached to a screw with a lock washer & nut).
& don't use a cord sticking out of the box...get an IEC C14 inlet and use a detachable cord.
this thing is already inside a metal case, so if you want to build a wooden box around that, go for it. just make sure you have adequate air-flow. maybe a metal box would cut down on noise, but who cares?
I will try to remember to post a picture once I complete it.
