Variable bench powersupply 1-80V 0-10A

Computer PSU mod with 2 sub DC-DC converters (1,25-36V 8A + 12-80V 10A)

Another ATX powersupply mod with a variable output:

1,25~80V
0~10A

Also the normal output of the psu can be used

3.3V
5V
12V
-12V

The variable output is seperated by two DC-DC converters. One for high voltage and one for low voltage. Both have their own display for voltage and amperage. These displays can be tuned to display the right voltage.
On the left is the high voltage channel (12~80V)
On the right is the low voltage channel (1,25-12V)

The faithful ATX psu mod needed an upgrade with variable voltages and more then 12V so this happened. I got inspired on the web and came up with the following circuit with the parts I could get. If anyone knows a handy way to do this digitally, keep me recommended!

    Create frontplate+ top plate + backplate from sheetmaterial. Also make the bottom plate (I used 8mm multiplex). Make shure you have enough room for everything. I made the top and bottom plates too long so I can cut them off later.
