Re: Lower Cost Case Ideas

2008-11-11 by chrismousdale

I like this idea - im getting into modular synthesis and the case price is killing me..

Im going to get a wooden mini case but that it limited, then after i have a few more 
modules i want to have a rack case.. ideally that i can put in a suitcase / flightcase to gig 
with.

I have had a look at the DIY Kit and i don't get it. there are two versions and they seem to 
use little jacks, with an external PSU rather than just plugging in a kettle lead, which is 
what i want to do.
