You can try this address in France. They have the box (but some models are out of stock curently).

Web site is **** but they are serious.

Inside width is given on their website, and it's about 31cmx28cm on my case (which is the largest they do).

The top and bottom are *steel* and the sides are alu. There are no instructions, but it's mostly obvious how to fit them together, except that I have some longish steel coloured screws that don't seem to fit anywhere ... (anyone got any ideas?)

You can get some low profile 200Va transformers from LCAudio. I built a Zappulse with two of these in one 40mm high case, and I guess it sounds OK.

I can't help wondering if 400Va isn't enough for these modules anyway... (running at 63V). With the UCD I am going to just get an 80mm case and go with the 1Kva tranny... (unless someone has a reason not to?)

You confirm 21cm?

On their web site, they wrote 23cm !

But no problem, all still fit in the box...

21cm width, yes

DIY_Peter · 19th October 2004, 07:19 PM

Maybe a little off topic, but is there anyone out there that knows where I can buy cases of standard Hifi width for a fair price?

I hate those smaller boxes. I want my self made stuff to blend in with my other hifi gear

Try www.audiokit.it, though it looks like that the cases there are either 19" rack series or the one like the Galaxies (which are nice btw.).

It seems we have now a Class-D forum :-).

Yes, but they state external dimensions not external.

BTW, that French site has the prices way off since they are more than twice those of AudioKit which are also in Euros.

For AudioKit, you should add the VAT and the shipping cost to compare.

For the French supplier, I don't know the shipping cost.

Yes, so for a GX288 it is EUR 26.40 at AudioKit and EUR 55 at the French site. Shipping should be about the same. Pretty clear pricing difference...

Anyone seen any other European sites selling these cases? somewhere in the UK would be good.

Its seems to be difficult to find good sources for quality cases.
