Mark,
I would still like option 2 for the second so please go ahead and modify. Surely you will do a much better job at this than I will ever be able to🙂
Let me take the opportunity to thank you warmly for all the time, energy and skill you are putting into this project.
Cheers,
Nic
If Nic were doing it, he would use




No - I would use restriction enzymes and it would take years and look horrible in the end😀If Nic were doing it, he would useand

John,
We are now ready to ship the one set to you for heatsink fitting as promised, even before final payment.
We sent you a PM asking for address confirmation and also shipment method.
Please get in touch by PM or email asap.
We'll post a photo of the new front panels, etc before shipping.
Thanks,
Patrick

Another update :
This is the first of the new panels after finishing, ready to ship to John for heatsink fitting if he would get in touch.
The rest should be ready next week, as we are reworking the two spare ones. Mark promised to give me shipment costs then, so that I can let John arrange final payment.
The rest (incl. Beta PCBs) will be announced over the F5X thread, as it might involve others.

Mark has been notified via pm 😀
I reported in post #582 about a temperature problem with the regulator heat sink.
I am happy to report that we are now close to a solution, though not quite.
Mark has tested rectifier and regulator at fill load on a Fischer SK098 heat sink.
The temperature rise above ambient was 35°C. Under normal circumstances, it would have been just fine.
But since we expect a higher temperature below the top cover (assuming 15°C above ambient), we would like to lower it further by 5~10°C.
So we are going to test 2x custom machine SK466 with fins vertical, mounted to a special adaptor piece which holds the rectifiers and the regulator.
If this makes the necessary improvements, we shall then proceed to release the mechanical sub-assembly for the regulator as well.
You can then choose to stay with the CRC solution, for which we provide all parts, or the regulator solution at some additional expense.
(GB heat sinks from Fischer direct, plus adaptor kit from us).
From what I heard, at least one tester like the regulator a touch more. But I shall let the test team report their findings in detail.

Patrick,The panel looks superb Patrick!
Cheers,
Nic
is the front of the panel slightly concave or this just an optical illusion cause by the angled panel sides?
Fabulous!
Nic
Can we still sign up for a Fx5 case?
Hi, is it still possible to get on the list for a full F5x case, etc?

Thank you for your interest.
Unfortunately too late. We are close to shipment, and all cases have been subscribed for.
Please kindly keep an eye on the F5X thread for a possible 2nd batch around mid 2012.
