Thanks for all the comments so far. The case I build will most likely be 
about the same size as the faceplate (height/width wise) with an open back, 
although I may make it a bit taller on top to accommodate a 240V fan and an outlet 
strip. What sort of ventilation holes should I put on the four sides? I'm 
hoping for something relatively discrete, if at all possible. As far as alternative 
cabinets go, I'll keep an eye out for one (haven't been too successful so 
far), but will still build this wooden one so that I have something nice (and 
with the potential of fitting in with existing furniture) to put my set in. As 
for the 390A itself, owning it has been quite an adventure, especially since 
I've never worked on something this complex before. I recently finished 
restuffing the can capacitors, and currently have the IF deck sitting on the bench for 
replacement of the problem caps (details of the restoration so far can be 
found at <A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/AdamVon/r390a.html)">http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/AdamVon/r390a.html</A>). Once I get done with 
this, I will hook the set up to a Variac to bring power up to it slowly, and 
hopefully it will work (when I acquired this set, it was said to be nonworking, 
but I discovered that the 3TF7 had gone open, and have since replaced it).
