I finished recasing an M³ for a friend last night. It started life in pretty rough shape but thankfully the soldering work was good enough that all it required was all new hardware, wiring and a new chassis.

Thanks! It's a HiFi 2000 case and the shame is that it costs more to ship them to the US than the cases cost. I wish someone would work out a distribution scheme (like Parts Connexion or similar) to bring the cost down a bit.

The cases are really nice and even here in Europe shipping is sort of expensive(around 30%-50% of the cost of the case) . It's still a good deal though. Nice work, very clean looking!

Where do you guys buy those HiFi 2000 cases from? The site in the link?

Their shipping seems very reasonable.

BTW great work!

I think you'll find (at least the last time I looked) that their shipping is reasonable for small, light packages and that if you're ordering a chassis you exceed the weight limit for affordable shipping.
