That is good news pico, then the heat sink drilling will be symmetrical and gives the builder heaps of options when it comes to the number of O/S devices - that is good for those that might use this chassis for a Stasis build.

Hi pico - what are we expecting each of the (two) heatsinks in one of these macho chasssis to dissipate ? or at least do we know the heatsink ratings for this chassis (degrees c / watt )

It should be a little better than 0.2C/W (for a 30C rise above ambient) per 500mm heatsink

The convection performance of a heatsink improves as it gets hotter.

Once you also include the increased surface area of the attached top and bottom plate plus front and rear panel, dissipating 150W per channel will be a piece of cake.

2 picoDumbs,

I have not found what project prompted the creation of this large case. Do you have an amplifier in mind? Or is this part of a new mating ritual in which you create something big to show off your machismo and spread your pheromones?

😕

Second will be a revisit and tweaked version of the BA2 so it produces similar output characteristics of J2 but with the addition of a push pull output stage.

Maybe like a cross between J2, ACP+ and BA2 front end connected with a beefier F4 like output stage. Still deciding on the exact details.
