Our intention from the beginning has been to find something off-the-shelf, preferably something we can get volume discounts out of a catalog. Digikey, Mouser and the like are places we'd expect to find what we're after. The time-consuming part is going through the available options, comparing heat dissipation properties, price, and other factors, and deciding on one. That's the week we need to save. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
