[R-390] Hammond cabinets

[wli]

Yes, heat build up is definitely an issue best addressed up front. To this end, I elected to go a cheaper route: remove top and bottom covers, stack units one on another using a pair of grey-painted 2x4's placed fore-aft and with shallow kerfs cut to lock on the front panel edges.... and have the entire receiver stack enclosed in a short 19 inch rack. The front panels have zero stress applied to them, and are bolted in. Each front panel is separated from its neighbor by an pen half inch seam. Obviously, taking out the lowest unit is a real pain!

Ran into a nifty temp monitor among the thousands out there for under $4
Check them out at sureelectronics.net. Runs off 5vdc and is the prettiest one I have come across. I went kinda crazy and ordered 6 for misc PC's and my Macs and my 390's.
