sawing a G6 in half

2007-05-30 by michaeltritter

I need to shrink a setup for live use to three rows of Eurorack,
leaving a section of a 12U rack free for some other stuff, and all I
have are G6 cases. I really don't want to spend $500 on a G3 to make
it fit correctly.

Am I insane thinking I could hacksaw one of my G6's in half -- of
course disconnecting the second bus board and cables from the power
supply? The G3 is just a PSU2 with one bus board anyway.

Other than the fact that I'll inevitably mortally wound myself on
sharp metal, and the resale value will now be $1, is there something
terribly wrong with such a plan?

Thanks in advance for polite scolding and admonitions.
