Perforated base plate
I installed the base plate lip down so I could slide the power transformer forward almost touching the face plate. During testing I found a problem and needed to remove the amp boards. I simply removed the 6 screws that held the heatsink . Board removal and reinstallation was easy. Had the spacers not been there I would have not been able to remove the bottom 3 screws from the heatsink. Unless there is a structural problem I will most likely leave it as built.

My PCF amp
My bottom plate is upside down too 🙂
. Once the lid is closed, nobody will know 
3U/400mm case. 49C and happy all around

Thanks for the idea of using spacers. I’m in the middle of my F2J build and will incorporate the spacers. I wish I had done it with my SissySIT because I had problems that required me to completely take it apart to work on the amp boards.

That is a nice and clean build. 😉
Some cables have to be added - perhaps they have been....

Mighty Zen Mod doesn't approve of the fast-on blade connectors so I am being well behaved Greedy Boy and not putting wires on them 
😉😀
Yes, once music was playing, it's already too late to take pictures 😛
Next time I take the cover off to refill the blue glow, I'll take pictures
Cheers!

Fast-on
Fast-on connectors are not my favorite. When I do use them, I solder the crimp ( one less mechanical connection ) and use Cramolin to treat it.

I like using Deans connectors for power connections. Deans connectors are used in radio controlled airplanes, helicopters, etc for lithium polymer battery connections and can take many Amperes of current. They have large contact area with tight fit.

I use XT60's for my electrics as well. I like that the round terminals have no sharp edges when covering with heatshrink.
i prefer to solder them and give 2 layers of heatshrink instead of using connectors. anyway you will not plug-unplug them frequently

Thanks for fuglys,
and I almost forgot to say thanks to the community for the long and informative topic with 6moons photos
