Tell me about it ;-)
For those of you still waiting on the Hammond cases, CNC Steve is hoping
to get them done soon, but his day job in academia is keeping him busy
(it being exam season).
Thanks for your continued patience.

Really ..? The Autocad expert I have in mind for doing the 'proper' P3
cases is more used to doing buildings...
Maybe I can enlist your help if the case design ends up 3 storeys tall,
with a sandstone facing ;-)

The proper P3 case (the one I'm going to have manufactured by a
sheetmetal engineering firm) will either have a pair of wooden end
cheeks and sit on a desk or table top, or it will have L-shaped rack
mount brackets to fit in a 19" rack.
The connections on the back will be recessed to suit either mode of use.
The power supply will not be internal, for the simple reason that it
involves a lot of extra CE compliance effort.
It may be possible to find a ready-made power supply unit that can be
fitted inside the case such that it is effectively an internal supply
(i.e. 3 pin mains cable plugs into back of P3), but this depends on
finding a suitable, CE marked, enclosed power supply that will fit
inside the case, and have its power connector accessible through a hole
in the back.
