Absolutely nice work. I bought a 312 today on ebay (maybe I payed too much). Eventually you can help me out with some answers on questions to come. But you gave me a good impression on how ro rack it. Looks cool BRW

So you had no problem with the B312 cards?

beeeeeeautiful

thanks to everybody

[quote author="laitue5"]So you had no problem with the B312 cards?[/quote]
no - hope you haven't had any with the Telefunken stuff ?

I had to do some modifications since I want my toggle switches to be ON at the up possition, and of course the 5V relays are not the best with Fabios PSU.
But with the 50VA transformer and the 5V regulator (NOT connected to the 48V) mounted to the chassis it works fine.

Kick ass looking stuff :thumb:

Your a pro...

Very nice indeed!

Do you mind sharing where you got those nice flat front led's? 3mm round?
