All sizes considered - around standard hifi width is good.... spraying is no problem - id be doing that as a matter of course anyway. Often ill split the unit so the ps is in a smaller case.


Almost any condition ok:

I'll get some photos of suitable candidates and you can choose Fran.

Oh, and I have any number of EOL small form factor HP desktops...not so much use as a grill though!

If theres loads going, I might take an extra one or two for jkeny as well?

Wow, those cases are usually well made, so would be great for the job.

Sure Fran - just the full width, or also shoebox size for PSUs and the like? Which photos suit you best? The Nortel switches (with LAN ports on the front) are good cases, but the side panels are full of ventilation which may not look so good if not rack mounted?

Let me know desired quantities and I'll have a dig around. Sounds like we need to do that meet up - I have some 63s now which fit in the car easier!

Some of each type maybe?

Yeah, maybe the ones in the third photo preferentially (just because it would be easy to mount a timber fascia to the front of it. (second photo not showing up on this PC for some reason) But any of them are fine. Extra ventilation usually isn't a bad thing anyway. A few extra small ones are great for off-board power supplies. Look any of them are better than what I have!!!


I'm working on a night to have a get together... watch this space!

Thanks Fran for remembering me! I'm not sure if I have an immediate use for one but if it's Ok to store with you I would be interested?

That reminds me I must pay a trip to my recycling centre one of these days - they are due a bit of "real recycling" although they don't seem to understand this :)

I'll take a look at it during the week. I havent powered it in almost 8 years I'd say so I've no idea if it still works.

Fran, I powered this up today and no blue smoke so I guess its probably ok. I dont have any guinea pig speakers to test it on and I'm not risking my main speakers. It's a reasonably heavy unit too which surprised me so I guess there is a decent transformer in it. If I can make it to your gaff on Thursday I'll bring it along and you can see what u think.
