This is a first try at putting an amp into a computer case.

The circuit is Kevin Carter's Single SE 6C33C. Dead quiet and sounds very good. That tube has grunt ! I had the amps running open on the boards for close to a year as the standbys before putting in case.

My wife has never said a word about the stream of spaghetti clipped amps that make their brief appearances at the front of the room and to say thanks I figured it was time there was something that looked a little less "adventurous" and with a narrow footprint could go behind the speakers. She was pleased enough with the looks that she told me to leave them in front. I said ok ;)

Nice amp! That water faucet would make me nervous. At least it looks like a water faucet on my phone.
