Here are the plans. | Here are the plans. | ||

+ | **BTW a desktop-style case made of aluminium panels and extrusions is being evaluated at the moment and may be available through a bulk order arranged on this forum in the near future. It will be compatible with the 17" panel design, but the "perfect" solution would be if the 17" panel had a routed edge so it could slot into the case around its edges.** | ||

+ | **I can't share any more details at the moment, but I also don't want anyone to be disappointed if they get a 19" panel made and then get disappointed when a bulk order for cases is announced soon after, which won't be compatible with their 19" panel (unless they chop off 1" from each side!). In this interim period, I will discuss things privately with julianf and the people planning to get a panel... it would make sense if they also ordered a rear panel made with cutouts compatible with Core32 module, seppoman's SD card and ETH modules, and a power socket/switch PCB which I will be selling in the future for MB-SEQ/BLM builders. So all this is only relevant to people who ALREADY have an MB-SEQ PCB and are considering ordering a panel.** | ||

+ | **Please note: this future bulk order will be for a desktop style case and will not be rack mountable. If you prefer a rack mountable MB-SEQ then stick with the 19"x3U panel design.** | ||

I strongly advise people check that their intended panel/case design will work with this PCB, and allow me to help (a second pair of eyes to find problems will save you a costly mistake or problems with construction). | I strongly advise people check that their intended panel/case design will work with this PCB, and allow me to help (a second pair of eyes to find problems will save you a costly mistake or problems with construction). |
