ok, i'll have at the groupbuy. i have the time right now, so i can arrange it. i've not organized one before however, so i could use input from others who have. i understand the basic premise. assuming we cannot get a larger-discount by buying over 10 cases (has this been verified?), we could probably do with different size/color/finish combos as amb states. but if we can get an increased discount for buying over 10 cases; and certainly if there is not enough interest (less than 10 cases) for a specific size/color/finish combo, perhaps we should consider one design only. either way, but i'd like to know if $30 per case (was that it?) is the lowest price we can get. i'll get on the phone and try to negotiate the lowest price possible once we have a definite idea of what we want. i'll post a seperate thread shortly.

Since only ten is enough to get the price down, I guess it's possible to have a couple of (size/color/finish) combinations if we could get enough quantity together for each one. By the way, the 2" high case has an available internal height of 1.85" after subtracting the thickness of the top and bottom panels. It will fit a board with the 1.5" heat sinks, but just barely. See diagram: You'd have to use short (0.125") spacers to mount the board and put an insulating plastic sheet below the board to safeguard the heat sink screws and parts pins from touching the bottom, and that gives only 0.145" clearance above the heatsink to the top cover. Also, the volume/bassboost pots will have their centers below the centerline of the front panel by 0.205". There isn't enough pin length on the Alps blue velvet to raise them to the center. But then my home-built case also has the pots below the centerline and it looks fine... |
