Keith has rightfully pointed out that enclosures demand a seperate thread so as not to dilute the main purpose of the initial thread
so here is the enclosure thread
followed from here

hmmm
so many cooks!
anyway i thought i would make a standard enclosure with all hardware listed above
Chasis,Heatsinks(since i have a source after consulting linux),RCA in , speaker out,IEC power socket,Power switch,Standoffs for PCB mount maybe a volume knob (but for this i would require some pics to copy from and also would need to know what exactly fits inot the knob at the internal end)
currently no input selector since that would require 2 pairs of RCA ins which im not sure everyone wants
i will choose all components according to my preferences ( note: i am a stickler for good stuff )
then i will put that completed enclosure on sale.
from there you guys can work on suggestions for additions or subtractions and then possibly standardise a chasis
i require help in the following matters though
more pics if possible of how that PCB attatches to the heatsinks - there must be some kind of adjustment kit/packing etc
pics of how the volume pot connects to the volume knob
i request linux to send me a sample of the PCB with the chip ( or whatevever i need for that heat sink mounting)
A reject will do
Lastly what are the dimensions of the PCB and what do we need the internal dimns of the chasis
width,depth ( front to back) and height ?
