so someone who could convert the instructions to french would be a good idea then thanks for the heads up, now first to afford the max then the case

smegger, you are kidding... French instructions for Italians guys at HiFi-2000.
Most Italians are just like you in Ireland or England, they hate French like poison

Seen one, seen em all... But what really sets mine apart from most is the green power LED

Just wanted to show you aren't obligated to use bright blue ones. The charge LED is red - They came in a bag of 20 for $3 from RatShack.
After 1st putting it together removed the pot nut & washer. Put a trace of oil on the self-tap screws so they would survive openings.

Built from one of Jeff's kits (recommended). I did have trouble getting U5 going (could've been bad or faulty install), but its working well now. Used about 6 hrs or so & sounds a lot bigger than it is (not shy in bass or treble). Nice project.

super, super, SUPER clean. I love it! Gawd, from soup to nuts, that is a sweet build! The text engraving on the front is a perfect touch. Where did you get the engraving done? Was it through HiFi2000?

I am nearly done with my own CKKIII....same case (the shorter one)...same wire covers...wow, I'm in good company!

The case is made by Belkin. It's one of these.

mb3k- I'm impressed how you managed to take those botched panels that they sent you and turn them into something nice... very cool!

Is that a knob from Hi-Fi 2000? What diameter, 29mm?

I'm planning to use one for my β22 and can't decide between 39mm and 49mm.

It's actually the 39mm knob.

I got the milling done by HiFi2000 but the engraving was done locally at an engraving center with a Versa VL-300.
I can't wait to see your low-profile casing and goodies

Hehe, if you notice you can see that I drilled new holes on the Neutrik jacks. No big deal - it gives it a unique mirrored screw pattern that nobody has

Thx for the comment
