Hehe, thanks. It was my dad's idea. We went to Home Depot and got those faucet knob covers to do that.

I KNEW it looked familiar.

Lol, we make due with what we can get.

I'm going to add a power regulator board that I just ordered from tangent (TREAD). I want to jack the heatsink off of an old graphics card for the regulator board for 2 reasons. 1. It's a pretty blue color and it's tiny, and it looks cool. 2. It'll make for some uber and overkill heat control. Any suggestions on how to jack the thing off of the graphics processor chip without damaging the chip or the heatsink? lol

Just take it off. All video card heatsinks are not glued down. Best way is 1 of 2 things. 1 heat up the heatsink with a hair dryer or 2 turn the video card on and don't turn the fan on if it has one and let it heat up and then pull it off.

Dad has taken up woodwork in his retirement so I sent him a Millett Hybrid for him to case up. I thought I might get a nice little box...

The little window is the tuning window from his aunt's old radio. You can make out the tuning dial in the drawer. The knob is also from the old radio. The drawer is to keep the minidisc player in and the door is for the cans.

The amp slides out of the back for tuneups in its own little drawer. The shelf up top fits an extension cord and wall wart.

The amp is a middle spec Millett with a dead-bug voltage reg on the al plate in the back and sounds fantastic.

The details are realy well done- everything is dovetailed, the latch on the door is scratchbuilt and works perfectly, the drawer is very smooth, and the finish is very nice. I don't know what the wood is. It's probably from a tree that was blown down in the hurracane that hit Virginia last year.

Like I said, I was just after a simple box. I told Dad to have fun, make two, and he could keep the amp I sent him, but he said he didn't want to make annother.

I'm hoping he forgets that by the time my Dynalo is ready to be cased up!

Hehe, I'm slow with these things...

But in any case, a LEGO case might be a pretty interesting idea..
