Is this a group buy, or just to prove interest so we can make a regular offering?


Our idea was to offer this through the store as if it was a standard product. With a single 6 meters long bar (which is the one we buy from our supplier) we can produce enough heatsinks for 8 chassis which could be a good starting point.


If we see there is enough interest, we can keep producing these even for bigger quantities and always have them in stock. I am going to talk about this with Jason and see what he thinks about this too.


Price is being calculated, we should have it available tomorrow.
 
Here is a 4U 505mm chassis. With 5pc 4U 300mm sinks.
Of course not store bought chassis. front panel and sinks from modushop.
The chassis houses 5ch honey badger.

Just a thought.
One other thing people might be interested in, would be steel transformer cans/boxes/cases for magnetic shielding purposes.
Probably only need 2 sizes, one for a 140mm diameter (and under) transformer, and one for a 175mm diameter (and under) transformer.

Maybe something for the future depending on interest.
 
^ I was trying to use a chassis that was effectively 3.5U, 400mm deep. I've posted pictures of its twin in a couple threads, including the SIT-3X. It needs augmentation to support the power dissipation, but I'm still using it for my Singing Bush build, until I prove to myself that it won't work.
