I'm currently building a YUsynth modular synthesizer. Already made first PCBs.
Now I was considering different option for the actual housing
I still have this old flight case
Got it for free with my analog scope, but I don't use it, since it's really hard to put inside of it and take back out.
So I had this crazy idea of actually building my system into this thing.
The advantages that I see, is really rugged housing. I don't think a "traditional" cabinet would survive my abuse. The size is just about right for the system I would like.
Also, it would save me some money.
Now the problem is, that's it's built like a tank. I'm not sure I can do the necessary modifications, without compromising the construction or completely destroying it.
The walls are really thick - I would replace one of the walls with just a rack mount rails, to mount the modules on. Then build in the PSU in the
Did some have similar experiences? How would you do it?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
