ReplyDeleteHow are you going to do the power supplies and the bus boards?
ReplyDeletethe compact/enclosed power supplies and I2C buss is one of the more amazing things about the 201e cabinet
ReplyDeleteI do really like the look of this tho.. very retro 203.. you need some blue and red knobs on the modules in that sucker
Awesome, $400 down, $40,000 more to go!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to put Buchla modules in there or is it a Buchla style case for other brands of modules?
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the boats made? I finally had our HVAC guy build them out of steel for my tiny little system, but it feels like a dirty little secret since they're not aluminum.
ReplyDeleteHe clearly states in that thread that this cabinet is for his DIY modules.

ReplyDelete"tiny little" – I do not think those words means what you think they do.
Hi, guys! I'm the one who did the Cabinet!
ReplyDeleteI was originaly going to make an wood casing for my DIY modules like a Dot.Com, but found a metal shop nearby my house (I live in Brazil) that could both supply me with blank aluminum panels *and* fold bigger aluminum sheets for me.
I just had to assemble the "sides" where the big screws go and make the wood sides. I used CAD software to do the drawings for better precision. I'll send the CAD files to anyone who wants to do the project too.
And yes, I'm gonna use DIY modules on this cabinet. The form factor was chosen by me, and I'm designing every circuit and panel from scratch.
(ooops, aparently OpenID messed up my screen name on the previous message... hope it works now)

ReplyDeleteHey, Reed.
The original Buchla cabinets are made of steel, AFAIK! I just made them using aluminium because it's waaay lighter (and cheaper). The same machine used to fold the steel sheets can be used for aluminium (but you need thicker sheets)!
The Buchla 200e cabinet has aluminum boats.
