Reading back through a just few of John's and Clive's posts, it looks like they're not exactly on the same page with regard to the panels.
Clive mentioned two distributors. Are we talking commercial distributors or kitchen table operations? This early in the project (beta boards haven't even been produced yet) I don't see how there can have been any type of commitment to "distributors" where the design or origin of the end panels would make any difference. If the panels (or just the rear panel) are produced from circuit board material, do they still need to be machined? Circuit boards are produced in all kinds of shapes, containing any manner of holes and cutouts. Can they be produced with the necessary design by the board house rather than requiring machining? If they do need to be machined, then why use a circuit board in the first place? Only for the silk screening? If the front panels need to be silk screened anyway, could't both panels be printed at the same time for a nominal additional cost? What exactly will be sold/distributed by the project? Obviously, the CSP2 board. And, I take it, the panels. What about the body of the case itself? Any other parts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
