This thread already contains all of the information that has inspired me. I'm seriously thinking of building an external linear PSU for the 861 using the HDCC-150 as used by Nick.

The aim into have something totally reversible in the event the unit ever needed a trip back to the factory. Replacing the standard mains input back panel with a blank plate fitted with input sockets would be simple enough. Mouser have stock of the HDCC-150 for just over �160 including vat & delivery.

Moving the power supply out of the main case can only help with cooling as well.
Just need to research boxes now laugh
