Actually I do quite a bit of picture/print framing and I cut some pieces of glass from scrap. The glass is very clear as it is meant to provide an undistorted view of the work behind it.

The view slots have glass in them and the top is brushed aluminum.

Nice! It seems like the Milletts here are getting most attention for unique casing.

Thanks! 
It was hard to work on smaller parts because my soldering iron was too big. I will take a wallwart for my next project and I will try to find smaller sized cap. The .47uf at 250v is kind of useless... I will try to find some locally at lower voltage.

I did notice that. Something about tubes maybe...
Yours looks very professional. If I were to ever purchase an amp from a company, I would hope that it has the attention to detail that your amp does. My case was rather constraintive on what components I could use to go through the panels as the front and back were rather thick (7/16) and I wanted a very minimalist number of protrusions through the wood and nothing but the tubes on top. Couple questions: What banana plug jacks did you use for those test points? Did you do the silkscreen on the outside of the case yourself? If so, how? If not, where did you have it done?

The test probe sockets are from Digikey
Red: 105-1042-001
Black: 105-1043-001
My case was laser engraved which 'burned' the black layer off revealing the aluminum. It was done at a laser engraving center at the University I attend.
Thanks for the kind comments.

Nice wood enclosure quicksilver96. I like the grain and the stain used.

Thanks 
It's the modified Linkwitz crossfeed by Chu Moy, I didn't feel like buying the PCB and then also having to properly mount it, so I just did up one channel on stripboard and mirrored it to the other half

Yeah but just looking at it sitting on the table don't tell me you didn't see it coming.
I agree very nice job on the casework and it's only a crossfeed. I'd love to see pics of some bigger projects.
