Hi Gabe,

The first run of kits is sold out, but hopefully there will be enough
interest for a second run.

> is any one going to produce the cases for a desk top version? for a
> rack mount? hope this si not an overly redundant question.

The desktop cases I've made so far have had the pot and LED holes drilled
by hand, and the cut-outs for the LCD, keypad and switch board cut out
using a hand-held metal nibbler.
It needs a fair bit of filing and sanding to get the finish up to scratch,
and then it needs to be re-painted. The end result is quite nice, but it
takes me a good few hours of work to get it done, so I can't start mass
producing them.

I've also had a rack panel made by Schaeffer, which is obviously a much
higher quality of finish, but I'm yet to come up with a satisfactory rear
enclosure - my rack panel is sitting on a couple of pieces of wood at the
moment, to hold it off the table.

When I get the time, I'll investigate the cost of getting both the
machining of the desktop case, and the construction of a rear end for the
Schaeffer panel done professionally.
I've been a bit too busy of late to do this yet.

I'll be costing the full kit soon too. I've got a couple of 'test' kits to
put together to see how much effort it takes.

Cheers,
Colin f
