This weekend's project will be to attempt converting my D200 to a D250 via simply renaming my existing D200 to a D250 via the configurator. No idea if it can be this simple but I have it on good authority they're identical electronics contained within a different box/case. However, my previous convection modifications should easily allow for at least matching thermal efficiencies, perhaps even better than an OEM D250 enclosure... time will tell. No way to know without the effort and minimal risk. Also no way to know if it can be as simple as renaming my 200 a 250 via the configurator but it would seem at least intuitively possible. And if possible it seems to be an even greater logical conclusion to the mods I did previously via the stripping/black anodizing, PEM-ectomy, PSU modifications and high efficiency thermal cooling medium, WBT silver binding posts, eliminating ALL magnetic fasteners/provisions and passive or active convection cooling available to me at this point. May not work at all in which case I wasted a day. But I prefer to look at it from a "what if it does work!?!" Especially if accomplished via a simple config change. A minimal risk 30 minute SW/FW investment for a potential D200 to D250 upgrade seems at the very least, a worthwhile endeavor to me!
