I'll take the other 2if is has an OSSC integration in the enclosure the. I will take two.. No hurry, I can wait.

An old Navy buddy of mine works with metal now. I believe he even has a laser cutter that somebody donated to him to learn on. Maybe I can talk to him into designing something to where this could be a DIY kit with the existing HAS design.
The guy mostly makes gun parts, and so far nobody’s gun has exploded on them...so I think his work should be pretty good lol. I can see if he’s possibly interested and how many cases he’d be willing to make. Pretty sure he knows some paint guys too, but to keep everything cheap as possible it’d probably be best to go with the old Ford model of “you can have any color car you want as long as it’s black”.

"The guy mostly makes gun parts" it would be cool to make a metal shell that looks like a real gun and transport the inside of a lightgun with recoil and all.. tell me to make that, playing house of the dead with something like that would be very cool

I wouldnt be looking at having an enclosure pre built or anything like that, will add to the time and cost of receiving once. But as mentioned I would be interested in knowing what PSU could be used in one to possibly make my own.
Btw @modology nice pickup on the BVM-D20F1A was it really worth to pay over $1100 for it? Seems like a sky high price for it.

He’d probably be pumped to make something like that. He’s seriously a stereotype conspiracy theory preaching gun hoarding nutcase, but we go back all the way to boot camp so it’s hard not to love the guy lol. I just confirmed that he indeed has a laser cutter."The guy mostly makes gun parts" it would be cool to make a metal shell that looks like a real gun and transport the inside of a lightgun with recoil and all.. tell me to make that, playing house of the dead with something like that would be very cool
If somebody could be so kind, PM me dimensions of the OSSC, candidate power supplies, and the HAS itself. I’ll make a rough idea drawing over spring break, and then hand it off to my dad for a more detailed plan (he’s designed audio gear for over 30 years), and then present it Jeremy (my friend) to see if he is interested. If he’s not, then luckily my dad also has all kinds of connections, including Tucson’s biggest powder coating shop. Him and the owner go 50+ years back.

Just to give you an idea of my dad’s abilities, these were designed and hand built by him lol. Top piece is a ultrapath (pre-amp) and buttom is a stereo amp. He seriously has more energy than guys 1/3 his age...

Very cool builds, love tube amps. I have built a couple of tube headphone amps in the past, I am a bit of a headphone/amp freak

Tubes are the way to go with audio : D
Most common question growing up when kids visited my house, “what are those lightbulbs?”

If you want to spearhead something, I guess you can start a supergun build thread? Let people chime in on what they would want for it to incorporate to come up with the ultimate design that fits most things wanted?!
Sorry, I forgot to respond to you. The PSU was SUZO 42PP0606 and the case was bought locally (I loved it, but they no longer have it :/) - https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7307/12327312793_5ab1762823_c.jpg
Mind you, this was designed sometime in 2013 and built in the beginning of 2014, it's been a while, and I would do things slightly differently now.
@mukurofish - that is art, huge props to your dad
I'll see what I can do about the metal case, too, I have a friend who made a few metal case arcade sticks in the past.

Not a bad idea, although there’s no such thing as making everyone happy lol. Let me run the idea by my old man and Jeremy and see if I can get a green light.
My dad will be visiting in late May so that is the time the official drawing for a prototype could be made. Like you stated before, I’ll likely need the parts on hand. My dad is super super detailed and doesn’t leave crap to chance. It’s actually very annoying sometimes, but his work speaks for itself.

New products aside - any word on when you plan to start doing the short run of regular HAS? I think it has been 2 months although I have the memory of a gnat and had a crazy week so apologies if I was premature there.
No worries, it's happening, I bought and received most of the parts. I'm still waiting for the PCBs, though.

I’m studying for a test tomorrow, but my mind keeps wandering. I’m trying to think of a good way to have both Saturn and DB15 capability and have it still look clean. I thought about having four ports on the face of the enclosure, but there’s the problem of having to open the whole thing up and switch the connections to the HAS anytime you want to switch from using a Saturn controller to a DB15 stick. Of course it could just have DB15 and you could plug the Saturn adapter in and out at will, but that’s just not as cool looking lol
I really should be studying...

Some people will never use Saturn or USB, so to avoid enclosure model fragmentation, I think that DB15 ports is the way to go. Recessed DB15 ports and a nice shape of the hole for them can look very good. I'm thinking PVM-like style of case, gray, possibly with handles on the sides?

If the handle could be internal and easily unscrewed perhaps it could be popped out for easy access to the OSSC. I’m not familiar with OSSC as I’ve only owned an XRGB, but I’m assuming you need to mess with it every once in a while right?
