Re: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] 'Build your own' Day at EAR HQ

Wow that's a nice case!  Wish I knew more details about it like,

Where did they get the rails?

What's a good source for plexi glass?

Did they use a standard Doepfer power supply and bus?

These ?'s are leading toward the obvious question of how much could you construct one of these for?

I've thought about buying a A100 back panel with mains inlet ($50), a PSU2 ($115), a bus board ($50), all of which are available at Analogue Haven, and making my own case.  The problem is that when you start adding rails, case material etc. your getting pretty close to the price of an A-100 rack.  And, there's no risk of sudden death by electrocution because your electronics skills are questionable.

I think I'd have twice the number of Euro format modules if the Doepfer cabinets weren't so expensive.  Some prescient individual could make a mint marketing Euro format cases in the U.S.

Adam Somers and Sean price, long time EAR associates, came over to the
place today to work on their own cases - a matched pair of custom-made
plexiglass cabinets, some of the best looking stuff I've seen Eurorack
modules housed in. Sean Price is to be credited for the deisgn of
these babies.  I say he did a really good job.

Go to the photos section to the folder entitled THE CREW for a couple
of snaps.
