Hi All, What are the current options for ready made cases for the P3? I want to build a P3 but only if I can purchase a ready made case. Has anybody made a run of these yet? Keith

I'm currently finalising a prototype case design to take to a couple of metalwork firms for pricing. It's my intention to supply these mainly for ready-built units, but also along with bare PCB/CPU kits for DIYers, and cases only for previous kit buyers who may not have put a case together yet, or may want to upgrade to a nicer case. If I don't get these into production soon, I'll be giving myself a serious kick up the arse. I'll keep you posted... Cheers, Colin f

> Hey Colin... What happened to the cases that Steve was working on? They should be finally done really soon... Steve hasn't had the spare time to spend in them due to his day job... Hence the need for a commercial supplier of cases. I expect the early home-made ones will become valuable collectors items though ;-) Cheers, Colin f

hi please wait one more week, i've made a case prototyp and actually i'm putting it together. if everything works fine you can order it directly from me. (if there is no problem for collin :-) it's a stainless steel case, with aluminum side cheeks and option for rackmount or wooden cheeks, the case would be delivered pre-build with all screws included! its hi-end stuff and no cheap taiwan bullshit! grz mag www.magdesign.ch Keith <keithsterling@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Hi All, What are the current options for ready made cases for the P3?

Please don't get a batch of 100's made though - I can't guarantee the board layouts wont be revised at some point ! If your price works out competitive with local suppliers I may order from you myself, but I think the shipping costs and import duty might wipe out the advantage of buying in bulk... Cheers, Colin f

thats cool! the mag p3 case prototype is quite expensive, question is how much are people willing to pay for a good quality case? if you once make a newer model, we can sit together for making a standard Pxx case. grz mag (actually drilling the spacers for the pcbs and soldering the pots......)
