Hi Colin,

now that the second run boards are in, can you give an estimate on 
how mucht a ready built P3 would cost ? Also, did anyone find a 
solution for making a rackmountable completed unit like the 
prototype ?

All the best,

Tom

Ready-built units assembled by myself from the current board stock 
will be 450 ukp, plus shipping.

I bought a sheet metal folding tool recently which I found at a 
reasonable price, and have been experimenting with a folded aluminium 
sheet rear enclosure for the rack panel. It looks promising, but even 
though the required alu sheet is under 10 ukp, the relatively high 
price of the Schaeffer panel still makes for a more expensive final 
result than a machined Hammond case. Once I'm happy with the sheet 
dimensions and angles of folds, I'll post up some details.
Most people seem to want a desktop format, so I don't know that I'll 
be able to get rack enclosures made in quantity, but they will be a 
DIY option for kit builders.

Cheers,

could you tell me what kind of tool this is and where you got it? as 
i've been needing one of these for a while now but i only know the 
huge industrial metal-folding machines..which are obviously a bit 
expensive.

o btw, i've sold my MAQ-16/3 as it hadn't been touched since i've had 
a P3. :)
