I'm not going to be able to help much from over here, but I can always shout the build team a pizza to get them through a long night!

$20 donated from me. Very interesting concept. I really hope this pulls through

Btw, for those of you who are donating (or who had already sent a donation), if your email address doesn't obviously associate you with your head-fi nickname, please state it in the paypal comments field, so I'll know who you are. Also, I will add a list of donors to the web page. If you do not want to be listed, please also let me know in the comment.

Screw waiting:

$13

Update: This will be a 4-channel balanced build, with available unbalanced connections as well. The target date to receive all parts/funds is 4 weeks from today. The build time-frame estimate is 2-4 months from all parts/funds received. None of that is written in stone and represents a guideline only. thank you for the response so far. It's looking like this is going to be the real deal based on the generosity of the DIY community. Edit: someone have some smelling salts? Krmathis appears to have fainted.

Well, it's only 10 bucks, but I've made a little contribution.

Any ideas what to do with it if/when the build fund goes over target?

If we are lucky enough to have an overage, for funds raised, what do you the contributors to this project think that should be spent on?

Pizza, beer and strippers for the build crew. I expect photos!

I am still with you. Barely!
Just stunned by the generosity of the Head-Fi members/community. I am rarely lost for words, but this is such a time...

PayPal didn't give me a comment field for the donation, but $10 sent.

Whipped cream.

Oh, you mean for the pizzas.......

If you go with a Par-Metal case I have some FPE panels already designed up. Also have a I/O board (would need a old style balanced Joshua Tree though). I also think I have a bunch of Neutrik XLRs that could be used.

Edit: I also have a boat load of blue LEDs if that's the color you want to use.

Do we have a target $ figure in mind? Not wanting to spoil the cost of the present, but it might be useful to shoot for a specific $ amount rather than working towards an unknown target.

I appreciate that much of the cost question will be down to how many parts are donated, but I think it is worth considering.

It might also be worth having a parts list that people can commit to and tick off as we go. So we don't have everyone arrive at the party with potato salad

.

Thoughts?

BTW - I'm in.

Very rough target is upwards of $500.00 or more, but alot depends on parts in lieu of cash donation. Yes we are very generous.
