My two boards arrived today. BIG thumbs up to Fred for doing this. I imagine it's a lot of hassle for a couple bucks. Very high quality boards for such a great price.
Couple of questions for the group.
1) On that Mouser BOM that's been linked a few times, I don't see it including the Molex or other connectors. Are people just soldering to the board? That's OK by me. Screw type are OK, too. (I saw the parts listed in the thread)
2) I also have a Mac Mini case, but mine is metal and hard plastic. The top, which will house the tubes and the heat sinks, is mostly plastic with a thin sheet of metal below. Is that a terrible idea? Other option is to house heat sinks behind the board, still in the case. It's metal on the bottom. Or, just buy a case and use that one for another Class D project, with far less heat.
Thanks again, Fred!
