Heya!

i know this might not have a ton to do with this forum but - do you have a favorite tin for a mint amp?

i know many will say the altoids tin, but lets be a bit creative here!

I am partial to the Dilbert tins, but they are smaller than the normal tins and require some creativity with component placement.

took a while to figure out how to fit everything in.

profingersk8ers dragon fire gum tins look mightily impressive too.

(btw, [off topic] x0mbi, did you get my PM about the Zen??)

I used to have a very colourful Jelly Belly tin (same size as an Altoids tin -- usually available in six-packs) that I kept fishing lures in. Despite the brightness, I still managed to lose it. It's too bad because I think Jelly Belly discontinued them in favour of the bigger, taller 12-oz. bean-shaped tins. See lower right of the following image:
