Very nice breakfastchef! Way better than my first Cmoy by a wide margin.
My fav is the Fat Boy.

Absolutely gorgeous work. Beautiful blend of wood, aluminum, and acrylic.

Nice job Ech0.
I was just working on a plan for a similar casing.

Echo,
Beautiful work. If I may make one suggestion, it does not appear as if there is any fresh air intake for the chassis. You have vented the top plate but unless there is a way for cold air to be drawn in through the bottom of the chassis you aren't going to get much ventilation. I'd think a small pattern of holes in the bottom plate would be a good idea.
Again, very nicely done.

It simply fits with the interconnects I have at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestion. It would be easy enough to add and makes sense to do so. I just never really thought about it.

Hey all,
my first DIY build  . Big fun and I'm completely hooked.
The case of the CKKIII is 1mm aluminium, while the psu case is brushed
stainless steel.

Guess which one I made first  .
The amp has some bad hum, but I'll take it to the appropriate thread.
Surely a grounding issue, but I'm to tired to do anything about it today  .

@ lifthanger : needs a knob! 
@ Echo : stunning work man, often its the most simplistic designs that are the most aesthetically striking!
anyways, heres a quick teaser pic of my 4 channel b22. im in the process of recasing the transformers and adding a second sigma 22 (yes thats what the blank spot in the case is for  ) so more pics to come in awhile. for now:
