That's the big question on our minds right now.

We're working into the small hours hoping and praying the Proprius will make a big splash at the Sound & Vision show starting February 24th at the Marriott City Centre Hotel.

But the cliff-hanger is we don't yet have a case wrapped around it!

We have some of the UK's best metal designers and metalworkers awaiting the arrival of this board...



I just have to machine a heatsink, mount it and test it. Sounds simple? I wish it were. I just hope I don't make a silly error. Then it's off to have its jacket fitted. Wish me success.

 

Best wishes again to all of you. I won't be in Bristol at the end of next month but I am looking forward to the day when I hear music through a Proprius amplifier.

The sad answer is no.

I just got the case costs and they've killed the entire project dead.

That's a British company trying to buy British -- it simply doesn't work -- Britain is down the pan and barking mad to boot!

I mean, a case that's a bit of heatsink extruded by the ton, a couple of sides extruded in a similar manner (and in Italy), a tin bottom, and a couple of small pieces of punched aluminium for front and rear -- the cost? More than the PCB, all the electronic components, the chunky 120W external power supply and the cardboard box we were going to sell it in -- yes more! I ask you....

And then people ask why Britain isn't working....

That's the last time I ever ask a high tech British company for a quote.

I hate to say this but would you consider a Chinese made case?

Or in possibly as part of the DAK range and buyers supply their on case if you have already had the PCB's produced.

Very frustrating and surprising economics. I thought the same as Miguel, and I can see a cheaper box would still need some work in the workshop.
