Avid DIY-ers!
I have been searching high and low for proper enclosures for electronic equipment for a long time now. Nearly giving up I decided that I am going to make my own.
After a few weeks of intensive design I came up with a 'system' that is universally adaptable for a variety of DIY audio needs.
Below is the prices for parts and what a complete package will cost. I need to get a few orders together to make this economically viable. All parts are professionally punched, laser cut and bent. You also have an option of having the parts professionally powder-coated. Special laser cut top plates, face plates and rear panels are also entertained (as long as you supply all the dimensions of the cut-outs).
Case internal dimensions are: 425 mm (W) x 345 mm (D) x 79 mm (H)
Faceplate dimensions are: 482.6 mm (W) x 88.9 mm (H) x 3 mm (Thickness) - 19" wide rack-mount standard, 2U height.
Basic faceplate provided with cut-outs for the following controls:
Power Switch - Rotary
LED Power Indicator - 5 mm
Volume Control - Rotary
Selector Switch - Rotary
Faceplate is fixed to sub chassis by means of four M4 bolts and nuts (not included).
Rear panel is punched for the following interfaces:
IEC Power inlet plug - 1 (On-board fuse type)
RCA / Binding post, chassis mount - 10 (6 grouped as inputs and 2 grouped on each side for outputs)
So for a complete case that is professionally powder-coated you will be paying: R2281.37
The sub chassis is fitted with threaded inserts (before powder-coating). All mild steel parts are 1 mm thick. Aluminum top plates are laser cut from 2 mm sheets.
Any interested persons can get in touch with me via the usual channels.
