Fotios,

A quick estimate shows that you punched about 3,500 holes only in the bottom panel. Assuming the same amount on the top panel (conservative) and 10 seconds per hole (conservative, not counting center punching, deburring, assuming one pass drill (unlikely for soft aluminum) etc...) it means you spent about 20 hours at the drilling press. One hole badly off and you could need to start over.

Unless you have a CNC tool, you are a true hero.

Just finished some mono amps, also used Anthony's soft start and speaker protector boards. Will be adding Per Anders Rectifier boards once I decide on what diodes to use - any suggestions or opinions on Phillips BYV32E-200?

Holy sh*t! You are right! I hadn't even noticed those holes were done by hand....WOW!
Even to layout the centres must have taken some time.

IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DIY PROJECT.

Holy moly! That's absolutely incredible.

I now have a "Fotios" folder on my hard drive with all these pics.

Congratulations Fotios! Well designed, nice built!

How did you do lettering on a rear panel?
