Did you make the case, or buy it as is?
DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!

Generally speaking, you can design the case and have it made in acrylic. That's what I did. If you are thinking of using acrylic, contact Andy at:

I designed an audio rack and submitted it to several companies around the UK. Andy was the only guy I could find who understood what I wanted, how professional I wanted it to be, and could actually make it to my specifications. Communication was outstanding and price was bank balance friendly.
He can even make turntable platters,covers, and base out of acrylic!
Just mention Stanley from Home HIFI recommended him.

Yes I made the case. Front panel is 10mm clear, top 3mm translucent blue and the back/base is 3mm frosted blue Acrylic. Four Aluminium struts are used as strengtheners. Rubber feet.
I like to use only non-ferous materials in my projects.
I'm lucky enough to have a job where I maintain four fully stocked Engineering workshops and a Heat treatment suite.
So just about any job is feasible with any material.
It's a good job I'm not into Vinyl any more or I'd be making turntables from scratch.
Next I 'm casting some real big heat sinks for the F5 class A amp.

Now that's something I'd love to see!It's a good job I'm not into Vinyl any more or I'd be making turntables from scratch.
Who knows what the future holds... Sounds to me like you could be tempted if the project was intriguing enough
It also sounds to me that Stan and you could 'team up' in some way, perhaps in terms of you making some cases for his designs?
One to ponder, I feel, for both of you...
Marco.
P.S Has the Toyster been and gone yet?

A friend of mine will require a pair of heat sinks for his F2. If your casting works out OK would you be interested in making a couple more?
Thanks
