How are things fitting vertically?
Modules probably won't stack; interior height is only 38mm. But I should have enough room to put the Buffalo and IVY end-on-end at the right hand side of the case.

But crap..... please don't tell me the PSU heatsinks are higher than 1"...... that would really dampen my spirits!

You can stack modules if you use 5mm standoffs. The PSUs will fit on the same standoffs, they did in my Opus.

Do you mind if I ask for a link?

Well the heatsinks can actually be gotten in shorter sizes (I think 3/4" for sure). Then you would need to use very short spacers to mount the PS PCBs. Its definitely doable, but I can't remember if the HS Brian sends are 1" or 3/4".

Cheers!

Not at all! But postage from Australia will probably be a killer
Altronics - Your One Stop Electronics Shop

I got a cheaper price in store than on the internet.

I've got some 1/4" standoffs, so even a 1" H/S should be fine. Any larger would definitely be an issue though.

Thank MrMajestic, I see your PS with HS fit just fine (or so it looks).

Very cool!

I was specifically asking for a link to purchase the case.

Are you and Beefy using the same case?

Cheers!

MrMajestic, It looks like your case is all setup for a SPDIF MUX. Sweeet!

Yeah, if the lazy bums at Twisted Pear will ever release it There is also expansion holes in the back and room inside the case for other stuff, like a USB module.

Yep, I'm awaiting that as well.

I'll try to take pics of my Buffalo. Although, you guys have already put my stuff to shame.

Well the good news is the boards are done, and we have them. They just need to be tested and kitted up etc.

Its the first thing on the agenda once vacation time is over and we have caught our breath.

It hard to build and ship these things with a margarita in your hand.

Cheers!

This little baby should arrive in the next couple weeks as well. Along with a cool new shunt regulator.

Anyone want to guess what it is?
