Hello Juan,


We DO ship to Puerto Rico! :) Shipping charges have already been loaded on the store but for some reason they are not being taken into consideration when you are about to complete your order, please allow a couple of days to fix this

Why not ask the company?

I'm a great fan of their cases and have built a number of projects into them. There are only two negatives: Every part is painted or anodized, so you have quite a bit of mechanical work to ensure all the case parts make good and safe electrical contact. And the extruded heatsinks are slightly banana shaped. That is always the case with extruded heatsinks, and the only way to ensure good thermal contact is to flatten them. I do that laboriously using a flat surface and coarse 80-grit belt sander paper.

I haven't asked the company about those points, but I'm betting that they would do both on request for a nominal extra sum as post machining operations.

I did but not answer from them yet, oh yes good I need to do something about the earth GND the paint is all over really well covered I mean no complain but for the chassis to be safe need to have the GND green wire with the yellow line to metal chassis anyway I'm please the quality is really good :)
 
hi guys I found the part number for IEC plug but I have a question, I'm planing to use a halo switch with a circuit that I have to turn on the amplifier in a save matter and you guys think that I can make a hole with this knockout puncher? is there a section here on diyaudio.com that is dedicated to chassis build? the knockout puncher is 1 1/8"
