I have been asked via PM for PCBs and matched devices only.
We have an agreement with DIY Audio forum that we shall only offer PCB together with the case GB.
If you want PCB only, you should contact DIY Audio directly, since we promised to give them exclusive rights.
They have all the updated Gerber files, so they can get them made any time.
As to match devices, since we have not yet had time to match ours yet, I suggest you get them from Nic (see end of this thread) :

Thank you for your interest,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
Sorry for the delay, I have been away for the past week. My order is on its way.

any update?
Hi,
I was wondering if any update is available on whether the production run took place in December, and whether there is any timetable on when we might see the cases and amps?
Regards,
Matt

Order placed to factory and now work in progress. I'll see if I can get a picture or two of the WIP.

As I understood the initial timeframe, we were not expecting to see anything before Jan or Feb of 2013, with final payment sometime after that.
I was just inquiring whether production on the casework had started, to see if the original estimate of late April, 2013 delivery was still a possibility. My apologies if anyone takes my inquiry as anything other than pleasant anticipation.

April 2013 is still realistic, though we'll try our best.
Work in progress costs us money, so we want to finish early as well.
The entire China / Hong Kong area will come to a halt for at least 2 weeks around Chinese New Year, which is beginning of February.
The machined parts are unlikely to finish before then.
On top of that we have to allow time for any cosmetic rework, brushing and anodising.
And we have to match over 5000 FETs. And that would take time (about 10 per hour).
So please be patient. This is already n-times faster than Batch 1.
They just got their FETs recently (their self-organised GB).

Thank you, Patrick, I will watch in the background now, until delivery is announced.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
We are happy to announce that we can show some progress.
We test assembled the first sample case of the second batch today.
Everything fitted together as planned, perfectly.
Apart from some cosmetic issues that needs sorting out, we declare ourselves happy.
One of the pictures shows the new, properly dimensioned regulator heatsink.
Some of the Batch 1 guys would be jealous .....
🙂

As long as properly dimensioned heatsink is an available upgrade to Batch 1 subscribers there is no need to be jealous - unless Batch 2 subscribers gets it first😱
Patrick and team,
excellent looking sample. Really looking forward to getting the final version.

Nic,
When the batch 1 guys get them depends partly on you. 🙂
Mark will send yours off when he is back from Taiwan next week.
It is ready, I saw it yesterday.
But Post Office still closed for Chinese New Year.

I'm sure this has been asked but I couldn't find any info.
What is the estimate cost for building the f5x, assuming using default part values and case?
Thanks in advance

There is no limit as to what you can spend on connectors, wires, etc.
But I would estimate 1500~2000€ by the time you can play music.
