That's a very nice start!

Where did you get the transformers and heatsinks?

That looks like a solid construction!

BTW, can this thread be used to post in for all the ZenV9's that are going to be build?

Hi,

The heatsinks are from Conrad,

The transformers I think are imported by the supplier (Jaycar) from China. Yes its going to be a heavy beast.

Why not post all the Zen 9 in here. It should be fun.

Hi Ian,

Very nice package indeed. What are the two heats on the back for specifically?

Very cool

Extra heatsinks for the "regulators"?

Hi eveyone,

thankyou for your comments.

Those vertical fin heatsinks are are for the Power J fet and are insulated from the chassic on nylon spaces and nylon bolts (per the article). They are rated at 1.1 c per watt so with the Power fet disspating 4- 6 watts will operate at 29 c temp in a room ambient temperature of 25C.

ps I hope to post more images soon.
