The Great Enclosure Project -- finding a home for the MIDISIDs!!

[Ben Asaro]

Today, in a handful of photos.

1. After MUCH too much running round for work, doctor's visit, and the commute to and from the city, I also squeezed in a visit to Control at their new location in Greenpoint. I was able to pick up a smattering of blank panels for Morpheus.

2. By this point I was starving, so I stopped at Vinny's Pizza in Williamsburg and treated myself to two slices of boujie, hipster pizza. Quite good!

3. When I finally got home, I laid out the panels for the Morpheus. And it looks like it will work!

4. But, most important, I was able to drill/assemble the mount for the display monitor using the modular blanks!

I won't get to work on the MIDISID mount until tomorrow or Friday, it's a lot more involved than the display monitor.

Getting closer!

Just need longer M3 screws for the MIDISID, and both mounts will be complete!

And, Mk1 of the enclosure is complete!

It was a real bear getting the MIDISID into it's current resting place. I couldn't understand why the 1U blanks were no longer fitting. Turns out that when I was securing the unit in place, I turned the standoff too much and it had moved the top board so it was at an angle, preventing the blanks from fitting. Once I realized this, I was able to reinstall it. Still tricky with 8 blanks to manage, but it worked! I cut one of the acrylic blanks down to fill the additional space.

Well done Ben - we are of course now awaiting all the wondrous audio results from this Great Enclosure Project!

I’ll be very happy to return to something I am better equipped for!
