Here you go! I had to modify the pins on the case’s hinges so they’d pop out; I didn’t think I’d want to leave the top of the case attached, though I suppose it wouldn’t be a bad place to put my Pocket Operator, tape deck, guitar pedals, etc.
It’s not quite 5U – there’s going to be a 1U tile row added to the bottom, where the black plastic blank is, but the gap between the top of the 3U row and the edge of the case is a little less than 1U.
I’m going to make myself a custom CV bus to fill that space – some multiples, a couple of on/off and momentary switches, maybe an attenuator or two, as well as a couple ports that will spit out signals on the other side of the case so I don’t tangle myself in 24" patch cords.
I’m more than happy to go into the steps involved in making one of these – in the end it was a $70, 104HP case, and that’s just too good not to share.
