I show my thought process (& mistakes!!) so your case build can be perfect.

🚨 WARNING! 🚨
▶︎ Installing an internal DIY mains power supply inside a case carries a risk of electric shock without adequate care! Follow all instructions to the letter, check your work multiple times, and do not touch any components when a system is plugged in. It's always safer to pay a professional to install a supply for you.
