I'm not understanding why you can't do four panels in a case like the one pictured at the link shown. I had a case like the one shown. . .hell, that might even be a picture of the system i had at one time. It was an elegant solution although six panels was a little heavy and not all that protable. Four panels in that style case should be just the thing. I'm also not understanding the depth problem unless your panels were not built with "transit" style chassis in which case your out of luck. Period. Three panels will fit into a popup Gator case with the wiring harness ( if your clever with mounting screws) but that doesn't solve your four panel problem. Keep searching for a Zero. . you'll find one sooner or later. . . much later. LOLkind regardsjohn duval-------------- Original message --------------

That's the only picture I know of too.
I spent a lot of time looking at Zero Halliburton specs and talking to Rex at STS about
having my four-panel system mounted inside one of these cases.
My idea was to put two panels in each half (like on the six-panel picture, which has three
panels per half), but very few, if any, of these cases have halves (shells) of equal depth.
My requirements were to fit the four panels in a case no larger than the IATA standards for
airplane carry-on baggage. I expect to travel with my system regularly, and there's no way
I'm checking it in. We couldn't find a case to fit four panels without being unnecessarily
large though.
I'd be curious to see what your friend comes up with. I still find these Zero Halliburton
cases a very elegant solution.

Re: Looking for pics of serge mounted in Zero case
2007-01-28 by Bill Sequeira
There is an (older) picture of my system in Kevin Lightner's site under Serge Station
Humble when compared to the Fist of God at its glorious peak.
I designed the stand so that the system could function as a studio system that could be split into a portable 8-panel system in a Zero case if I wanted to travel with it.
Since then the system has grown to a total of 16 panels, but ended up creating a mini-system out of a mod'ed animal/TKB, so now the stand is back to supporting 14-panels as in the picture.
The Zero case system began its life as a 6-panel. The trick (per Rex's design) was to use thick foam to go around and in-between the 3-panels per side, the foam being a bit wider than the actual case (but not much) in order to create mechanical tension on the panel sides.
When I upgraded to 8-panels I did away with the horizontal foam between the modules and added a layer of non-slip rubber between panels to both protect and create pressure to keep the panels in tight.
Mechanically it works OK as long as you are not attaching a banana cable to your truck's winch, although it is not quite as stable as if you were actually rackmounting the panels.
You do have to be careful with the distro cards - if you have too many oscillator panels that have two connectors (instead of the average one) you may require more than two distro cards - I was lucky and my configuration needed exactly two.
Can upload more pics if any one is interested.
Regards,
Bill
