I like space. It helps in tuning, testing and setting. My build uses a smaller toroid, PSU with almost exact board dimensions as TeaBag PSU, and 10" is tight with boards mounted to 6" tall sinks. Its clean and think I have pics a couple pages back. Ill find it.
i lied. Cant find it. Been posted coulpleof times.

Makes sense. I have 7" top to bottom inside. I wounder if I can install my transformer vertically in the front of the box. The things already big whats a few more inches if I make it 20" wide that will give me 12x7x17" inside. I got to get my transformer specs.
Better to big then to tight but what a beast. Hope the wife doesn't blow a gasket. I already have to many toys.

What's the consensus on minimum transformer for a F5T v2? 24v+24v 600VA?
Using the rule of thumb of 6x the amp's total output into 8ohm, that would fit the bill.

I have 400VA, but I get very small hum with ear to speaker. I assume its from undersized trafo, as all my other amps are dead silent, but none push the transformer this much.
Zoe,
Just lay it out and see how it all works. The 24V is secondary voltage, which needs to be multiplied by 1.41(1.3 for Class A) to get rail voltage.

Zoe,
I'm thinking of using that same transformer, 1000VA which gives 4 pairs of 25V secondaries. The other option for Antek is a 600VA 2pair 28V.
I'm also thinking of mounting the toroid vertically in the front. I found a good picture of an example on how to do that (very nice build photo from someone at the forum here).
How much power would the F5Tv2 make with that Antek toroid?
Well, 25V * 1.4 = 35V DC
and 25V * 1.3 = 32.5V DC --> Is my understanding correct? It seems like this is right where it needs to be, correct?
