Another plug for store.45HomeLab.com, makers of machines for the home lab and home server roles. These can be had in 4,8, and 16 drive bay desktop cabinets. The HL-16 is drilled for rack mount hardware (ears, slides, handles, etc).

The HL-4 and HL-8 are table top machines that fold open for access to internals for maintenance and upgrading.

Cases are robust.

The store also has some small client/workstation machines for various uses. Again, cabinets are robust for reuse.

The pots are nearly flush, no risk to snag them on something. They are 1/8" shaft Bourne pots made for that purpose. NOS from the 80s. Faceplate is a 12hp 1U tile I got blank from pulp logic. Not as pretty as the aluminum and plastic dual layer faceplates of factory modules, but still nice (nicer than just a hole in the case). On to soldering the return harness now.

Progress has been slow as I decided to have stereo send and receive. That way I can use stereo pedals to the full but can also run two mono send / receive chains. On top of that, by connecting the send and receive with a 1/4" patch cable I can use these as attenuators.

The soldering and layout was a little bit tricky and I had to stagger the holes so the nuts are partly recessed (else the threaded part is too short).
