#3. Projek Integrasi: Objectives

From the earlier problem statement, here are some objectives, or desired final outcomes:
1)  Looks awesome
2)  Nice cable management, use cable spiral or similar
3)  better cooling and airflow
4)  Reduce three power supply cables (DC9V, DC12V & USB) to just one (DC12V)
5)  Publish every detail so that readers can replicate
6)  Promotion for Ifhozm Design (haha!  lift basket!)
7)  Use cheap & available stuff where available & where it makes sense
8)  Easy to reset modem or router, independently
9)  Can adjust fan speed to optimize airflow vs noise

Now, from the above project objectives, here's the plan
1)  Figure out power supply requirements
2)  Figure out fan, cooling requirements
3)  Design a suitable case, or housing that addresses cooling, airflow, cable management

Just an additional note, I will probably not spend a lot of time doing nice-nice computer aided drawings, etc unless absolutely necessary.  I'll probably just take a snapshot out of my logbook and paste it here.  Like this:

In the next section we will discuss the power supply requirements.
