Default RE: Power supply question

Just don't do what that article in the link tells you to do, e.g. DO NOT "ZIP TIE" the resistor!

It gets VERY HOT and will melt the plastic.

I used metal heat sinks affixed with bolts to the side of the case and held the 10w resistor in place with a metal loop.

After years of use the heat sink looks like it's a bit burned, but otherwise everything works great.
