Subject: Big Cases?

From: bruce@...
Date: 2001-05-18

My meager 19" rack has been filled with lovely modules. This is
really only about 10 vertical rack spaces, but I am already
considering what the final form might be.

I know that many of you have made or are in the process of making your
own big beefy cases. What sizes are you working with?

One thing I sketched out last night was a vertical wedge shaped case,
with about a 28 degree tilt back. 4 panels tall (so like 20 rack
spaces) and 28 rack spaces wide.

I worked that out and it is 56 2 unit modules before I have to go to a
wing cabnet. The case would be somewhat over 50" wide, and like 3
feet tall. To me this seems pretty huge. One of the local folks can
build it covered either with Formica or Tolex for a tidy sum, but then
again how often am i going to do this.

Any thoughts? I am trying to think of what I want to have at the end
of this, and I am trying to think of what may still come out module
wise.

Thanks for any input.
