I thought it would be a good idea to keep things well ventilated (cool) so as you can see I machined openings in the top of the chassis and installed the following.

Congrats! Wow - that's a lot of metal cutting and a heavy chassis! Don't drop that on those bare toes
I'm a student of Peter Daniel's. You'd be surprised what you can do with modest tools in a small workshop.

Yes, the stock feet that come with the store 4U Deluxe chassis are pretty useless. The 'upgrade' feet aren't much better. I use heavy duty rubber feet that are meant for large bass guitar amplifiers or cabinets. The get the chassis further off the floor or shelf and help absorb some vibration. You can find these at professional musical equipment stores.We are some that are stuck with DiyAudio Store Deluxe chassis. They have their limitations when building heavy PSUs.
Did you put some nice feet on?

I've had really good luck with these off Fleabay,

OK....I also use large rubber feet for the amps and PSUs I just built on thick wooden boards. For the 5U Deluxe chassis I am working on stuffing with components I plan to put furniture wheels under them as chassis gets quite heavy. They will be floor standing and then it will be much easier to move them around. Another benefit is for the air circulation as chassis will be raised 7-8 cm from floor.
splice something ..... from the spruce?
have some sits around? why not Papa's 50W SIT SE from BAF , or poorman's iteration of same , with two mosfet pucks?
Very interesting, 50w Single-Ended BAF2015 Schade Enabled. Just not as interesting as the soon to be out VFET3?
