Please observe and respect the OP. No voting, no suggestions. With all due respect, please post only quantity and face plate color or ignore this thread and start your own if so inclined. I've no intention of herding cats.

Sorry I thought that the "no suggestions" rule only applied to the design, not logistics as well (And accordingly I posted my design suggestion re: speaker binding posts on the tweaking thread not this one).

Apologies for my intrusion.

No problem...I replied to your very helpful and thoughtful suggestion. If I was an anorexic with sub-tiny fingers, and if the selected posts had smaller ends, I'd seriously consider minimizing the post hole center spacing from about 40mm to 19.2mm to accommodate Cardas' Rolls-Royce posts.

I hate to ask this James, and thank you for being so thoughtful to actually do something like this for us, but if we want to get Cardas posts instead, would we be able to get ours drilled out differently?

I just saw your no suggestions comment, but thought it couldn't hurt too much to ask.

Hi Jim,
I'd like 2 in black with the Logos etched, if possible.
Thanks,
John

Rclark,
The die is cast for this particular group buy, metaphorically and digitally in CAD file. No changes.

Following is my best estimate after examining the Cardas site. Readers are personally responsible to confirm accuracy or lack thereof.

To install Cardas in this GB chassis:

1. Plug either of the two vertical 10mm post holes (plugs made for such purpose available...I'd plug the lower hole to increase clearance to whatever surface the amp rests on but that's just me)
2. Cut 13mm hole center spaced 19.2mm from remaining 10mm center...best of luck to you on those 10ths of a mm
3. Increase 10mm hole to 13mm same center...best wishes maintaining those centers
4. Cut 6.5mm hole centered mid-point between 13mm centers...hope you get the center right!

Rclark · « **Reply #26 on:** 29 May 2012, 10:45 pm »

Ok. I'll have someone local do that part. I'll just run it as is, and then upgrade to Cardas later.

In for two in silver please.

Please put me down for two with the black faceplate.

Howdy Jon!

You mean the Ncore logo, yes? Located where on the faceplate?

SR laser etch fee $10ea. OK?

I'll ask Jan-Peter for single-color Ncore logo in Coreldraw (cdr) file unless someone can make one by copying the Ncore logo online.

Curious to know buyer's preferences concerning the Ncore logo laser etched white on black faceplate:

Yes or no if price was the same?
If yes, where would you locate it?
Preferred size?

Rclark · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 May 2012, 11:09 pm »

I think a large logo, in white would look pretty nice in the silver face. Or perhaps over the top of the case, lengthwise.

TrungT · « **Reply #31 on:** 29 May 2012, 11:23 pm »

Please put me down for 2 ~~black~~ Silver faceplate and no biding post hole.
Thanks

We're over 20.

Prepare your Paypal trigger finger.

jtwrace · « **Reply #33 on:** 30 May 2012, 12:19 am »

Just an FYI on those ordering from James. Shipping from Mike @ Siliconray usually takes about 3wks from my experience.

James Romeyn · « **Reply #34 on:** 30 May 2012, 12:53 am »

At the SR website I got as far as "billing" just now. It looks like Paypal is the only option. Is this correct? Do they charge a Paypal fee and if yes, how much?

SR's PP fees (if such exist) and mine are cumulative. I await reply from Mike, same question as above.

We sold over 20 chassis for Mike. If SR charges for PP, buyers other than me would save the 2nd PP fee and receive their chassis quicker if SR allowed us to each order separately and SF drop ships each order.

I asked Mike if they'd agree to the above conditions and will post his reply ASAP.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

James Romeyn · « **Reply #35 on:** 30 May 2012, 01:06 am »

Currently 31 cases sold. Sa-wheet.

joeling39 · « **Reply #36 on:** 30 May 2012, 07:49 am »

I'll take 2 chassis if it is not too late.

1) Black face plate

2) logo etched

3) shipping to Malaysia using EMI by USPS.

Joe Ling

Latest updates:

All buyers order direct from Silicon Ray. I'm technically out of your loop, thank goodness. This change occurred after TrungT alerted me that paying me subjects buyers to two Paypal fees (3% me, SR charges 3.5% for Paypal their only known payment method).

Mike @ SR could not open the first CAD file. I await confirmation he opened the latest (2nd) CAD file.

I also await copy of the Ncore logo from John at Acoustic Imagery (thanks!) and/or Jan-Peter at Hypex for buyers like myself and jon bee that desire such.

I also await Mike to tell me how buyers should confirm they get the appropriate Ncore mono chassis holes (I propose my last name just to avoid confusion with any other Ncore design).

After all above confirmed, start clicking at the Silicon Ray website.

Holler if I can help, phone might be better 435 213 3953.

Please don't ask Mike to change anything on the CAD file. He did not make the file.

I asked Mike to confirm his earlier $10 quote for laser etch and then I received this unedited and complete email:

Quote

It depend on your design. $15 for full size front panel engraving. Much lower for small logo.

I'm guessing $15 for the Ncore logo once/if I receive the appropriate file. For logo location (white over black only from earlier email) I'm thinking center front but I'm curious what is your preference for the logo location if you were to get it. Is it not true that power amp logos most often locate faceplate center?

Toss earlier prices based on me receiving all and then re-shipping.

AFAIK, 48-state USA price per chassis is:

$49 silver face
$54 black face
$20 ea chassis shipping
$10 ea chassis CNC cutting (no modifications AFAIK)
Subtotal
Silver $79ea no laser etch
Black $84ea no laser etch
Add $10-15 ea order handling

Add $10-$15 ea chassis laser etch white over black only, face or top, price depends on size, bigger is sometimes better but in this case it's more costly

Only acceptable logo file is "Coreldraw" cdr, scale 1:1.

James
Mike already got the second CAD file.
