[toolboxmuziq]

where can I purchase a kit in the US? I'm in Mississippi!!!!

That would be me! Send me a an email with your requirements along with your full ship to for UPS and we will get the ball rolling. I currently have 3 of PSU cases remaining in stock. Plenty of 511 rack kits though.

Cheers, Jeff

what requirements do you need? I'm kinda new to this project

 

[jsteiger]

hey wait, are the USA racks arrive?

Yes a few weeks ago. You are on my Google sheet. Didn't I send you the link?? I thought you were putting funds together. Maybe I misunderstood. I can ship ASAP Dimitri.

Jeff i didnt saw them available on your website.

Jeff, do you have psu transformers? The website lists 0 in stock.

I have a few on hand. I have been saving them to go with the cases. I believe I have one that is unspoken for/not allocated right now. My price jumped up terribly on these things so I have not ordered another batch yet. I don't think I am going to either. I will probably just get smaller qty's by buying together with Volker.

Send me an email if you want it. We will handle it manually.

Cheers, Jeff

hey I think I forgot to post... got a package the other day.. lookin good!  I think I have most things except the PSU case and power cable. I thought I had one but it is not 7 conductor. Do you guys have a link to something I can get a few feet of? thanks!

@ 1sound: Seems that mr JBVries were a bit sloppy with his PCBs. I bought a full (Not!) 1176 kit from him but it didn´t contain the main PCB...

I used ethernet (cat-5) for mine and it works great!

that would be wider than 19", which is how wide normal racks are.  unless you break the 500-series module width spec, you won't see 512.

with Jeffs 508 available I don't see any need for the 512

If i were to buy this kit, what about the power supply? Does it contain all needed parts?

 

[mulletchuck]

the power supply is a separate kit.  if you grab it from Jeff, it comes with everything required.

PSU powers a single 11-slot rack.

Ok thx, thought so.

So are Full Kits (incl. PSU and everything) still available?

 

[jsteiger]

PSU powers a single 11-slot rack.

To be more precise, the 51x PSU kit will power one 11 space rack of 16V modules and one 11 space rack of 24V modules. So, depending upon what you have for modules, you could run 22 of them off of one PSU.

If I wanted to get another rack, could I change the resistors on the 24v legs of the PSU to put out 16v and just power another 16v rack?
Or does the trafo output prevent that? I'm using the PSU and trafo in from you Jeff.
