Mechanical Details:

Here's a picture of the cases and the provisional internal layout:

These measure 75 by 120 by 245mm (HWD) approx, which is nice and compact. For scale, I've included my new Pink Floyd SACD - check here for a similar misuse of Pink Floyd!

They used to contain switched-mode power supplies for a computer system, but these are history now. As you can see, they are well-ventilated, and have nice proportions for a monobloc amplifier. The compact size is really appealing to me - 4 of them sitting side-by-side on a shelf measure just under 50cm - only slightly wider than "standard-width" 430mm kit. Apart from the usual drilling, the only work that they need is a new front panel. I've got some 4mm aluminium that can be cut to fit and bolted onto the front of the case with some nice stainless-steel Allen bolts. It should look quite nice if I make this front panel slightly oversized. I'll probably paint them matt black - they're in good condition with no scratches, so a paint job should be nice and easy...
