In principle we are able to manufacture the A-100G3 again. But as we have to
order a single G3 case from Gie-Tec the price is in the same range as a G6
where we order quantities of 100 units. The final price of the A-100G3 is ~
Euro 360 which is only 30 Euro less than the A-100G6.

We offer several spare parts that are compatible to the G3 of Gie-Tec. If
you order the A-100PSU2, A-100BUS and A-100B84V2 you have nearly everything
you need to built a A-100G3 (some screws, nuts and spacers have to be added
by you). Pay attention that you also have to order from Gie-Tec the top and
bottom cover for the G3.

But I doubt if this will be finally cheaper than an A-100G6 or P6.

And I have to point out that only qualified personnel is allowed to install
the A-100PSU2 and A-100B84P because mains voltage is affected by these
units. Please do not try to built an A-100G3 (or any other case that
contains mains voltage) if you are not familiar with the electrical safety
rules. For DIYer we offer the A-100 DIY kit #1 which does not contain mains
voltage because of the external encapsulated transformer.

Best wishes
