Doepfer

Hi , 
I'm trying to build something like the A-100 G3 ( because they are not available anymore and need to fit the space) ,

Reading in the Doepfer web i found this: 
http://www.gie-tec.com/housings---profiles/19-inch-enclosures/index.html

there i found the alu frames and mounting rails and top + bottom sides.  Apart I'm buying the  Doepfer PSU2, back panel with switch and fuse holder,  and bus. 

Please let me know if someone has already built one like that before and if I'm doing well in getting those parts. Is it money wise convenient? 

Thanks

Ricardo

I like the industrial look of the elby designs racks. i want to add the doepfer psu2 and bus rail. are they easy to place in your  3U rack's back panel. Or do you think I can use the doepfer 3u back panel that includes the power socket, switch , fuse holder, holes for mounting the psu 2 etc?

How much would it cost the Elby D 3u rack  ? (i think the shallow is ok as i want it for metasonix R modules)

Thanks
Ricardo

Cases like that are often quite expensive. If you can handle some simple
woodwork or know someone who does then I would get a carcase made (MDF,
Plywood etc) and then use one of the rail systems available. TipTop do one
and I have my Construct-A-Rack series. In fact if you use mind and don't
mind the industrial look al an aluminium case then you can add my covers and
have an enclosed rack without any additional gear i.e. 1 x 3U rack plus
top/bottom cover and you are done. Have a look at my site

Hi,
The busboards can be mounted on to the Back Panel using spacers to give
clearance on the back of the board. The PSU2 will also mount on to the back
panel as well. There is no facility for the IEC socket so you will need to
cut a large hole to accept this (I can supply the IEC socket similar to the
Doepfer one). I don't have any dimensional details on the Doepfer back panel
to tell if it will fit or not and I haven't seen one to be able to advise.

An alternate solution would be my All-In-One supply although you would need
to cut out a hole in the side panel for access to the IEC socket which is
integrated in to the board. For this solution I would also advise on the
deeper 220mm version to ensure good clearance for any modules in front of
the power supply (Power cables are usually more than long enough for this
longer depth and the Doepfer cases are this deep anyway). The attached
picture shows the power supply mounted on the OUTSIDE of the rack which
would not be suitable for your scenario.

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
Dieter Doepfer
