RE: [Doepfer_a100] Nice wooden cabinets
2006-06-13 by David Salter
Hi Ian, The company I purchased my PSU from is this one http://powerstaxplc.com/ The specific unit was a HBB15-1.5-A+ and cost £56.20 It is a true linear PSU that can run as either +/- 15V or +/- 12V As for cabinets there two choices, either invest in some euro rack mounting rails to screw to the timber or screw battens to the timber and use wood screws. I prefer the former as it's easier to move modules around. Both Farnell and RS Components used to supply these. As for the case my local B&Q sell pine furniture boards of various lengths and thicknesses. I intend to carefully measure the lengths needed and get them to cut the boards to size (I think the first couple of cuts are free) then drill and dowel the joins and add a piece of 1X1 in the corner for strength.

I want to build a 2 row, double width (168hp) wooden cabinet for my doepfer system and was wondering if anyone has seen links to designs or pretty pictures. I'm not much of a woodworker and can see myself getting it wrong before I get it right, so looking at other peoples plans will probably help. Also, anyone using a 3rd party power supply with their system? I know pro-one's are popular in the US, but hard to find here in the UK. Can anyone suggest a model number. Whatever I go for I gotta remember to leave enough room in the cabinet for it! (How many times have I messed that one up...) Thanks for any ideas. I'll send links to pretty(?) pictures when I get anywhere with the project.
