I've finally got my Squeezebox into a new housing, it's one I got from an Italian Company - AudioKit (http://www.audiokit.it/ENG/Frames/Introduction1.htm)
Here's a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/40756540/ It's the central unit. The left hole is for a power LED and the right exposes the remote control receiver. It still works really well even with the more limited aperture. The case is a tiny bit wider than I wanted, but looks OK. There's an awful lot of blank metal, which I need to get used to, but now I have lots of space for linear power supplies, clock modifications etc. The inside isn't so pretty at the moment, I managed to get a new cable to link the main board with the display, but it's a metre long! Also I need to get new stand-offs to mount the display at the right distance and also paint some of the front panel edges black to minimise reflection. The opening is in fact a little too small, it doesn't obscure anything, but you need to be directly in front of the unit to see all the screen from a distance. I can live with that. Ideally I think a case should be like the bottom unit in this picture, the Musical Fidelity XDac3. I'll stick with this for the moment, it wasn't too expensive to do (under £100, including machining the front) and it matches the Copland gear well, but if I see a nice smaller unit I may be tempted to shrink it down! -- CardinalFang _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
