very nice looking case! and the dimensions look OK too

maybe you could use one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/fused-snap-i...-switch-218978 and free up some real estate to accomodate the second ILDA, the keyswitch and remote switch

I have updated the rear metalwork to accept an additional DB-25, and a rotary Key switch, Digikey PN: EG2623-ND

Ok guys I have the quotes in for the Projector Cases.
I don't know that we have enough interest in this to get the cost down. I have less than 10 possible interests.
The pricing in a qty of 10, (and that is assuming I can get 10 people to commit to a purchase so I'm not left here holding the bag), would be $400 each.
That price does include packaging, but shipping would be extra...
Price includes:
Complete Housing with pressed 4-40 threaded inserts and standoffs, Powder-coated Black Textured finish.
Pivot Base with 1/4-20 Star Knobs and nylon spacers
3/8" Aluminum Optical Plate drilled and tapped at edges only for assembly into case.
1/8" Aluminum Electronics Plate with mounting holes matching standoffs in case.
All screws and hardware to assemble the case (you provide hardware for mounting your lasers, etc.)
CNC machined Output Window Bezel (accepts Edmund PN: NT47-946)
Two 60mm A/C Fans
Two Fan Guards with filters
Power Switch
Fuse Holder and fuse
Power Receptacle
Rotary Key Switch
Two DB-25 connectors with solder cups

At this price I make exactly $40 on each case... That will help offset the money I put into the prototype, which cost a lot more than $400...
If we had enough interest for 20 units, the cost could be a bit less.

Just let me know...

If you guys are interested please only say so if you are sure you would buy one. I don't plan to make money on this just simply wanted to give back to the community.

It's a nice case esp with all the parts, but i was expecting it to come in at less so i'm out.

Also it has nothing to do with the $40 bucks heck the headaches and logistics you need to get something for, but you might want to edit your first post.

I was hoping for a price closer to that Edison Case group buy that was done last year for $280:

That was a great looking case that is similar, granted it didn't have any of the parts, (plugs, fans, switches, etc..), you're including with your case. It may be a bit too fancy for my wallet right now.

I'll have to think about that.

Yes Edison's case costs less to make since it is only flat plate and off-the-shelf extrusion. There is less fab work in his, I just wanted mine how I wanted it... No worries... I figured it may be a bit expensive to produce, but wanted to throw out the offer to everyone...

That's still about what I expected and, my Austin Willing built Edison case was a touch over that if I recall and still a lot less than my LT. I could still be interested if you ever revisit this although Lord knows, I don't need it right now.

That is one tidy build. Nice work with the mains terminations too BTW.

Three thumbs up

Nice looking case! If I wasn't flat broke I would be interested in one. Good luck with it!

Could you edit the last name out of your post? and this one http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...going-on-here? (not a big deal, I just don't want google archiving my name all of the place)
