Sorry to tell ya Houston, But $800 for a speaker isn't much. My lil single 15's retailed for more than $1,500 a cab.
 
Cool project. You could call it a compuamp or ampucomp. lol

As far as DIY speakers go they rock! I made 8" monitors that out perform 99% of the commercial 15" monitors. Clearer, louder, way more efficient.
 
19" x 13" x 2U (size of a QSC PLX) for under $200 or 19" x 15" x 2U for under $100 (and uses standard parts).
 
I've been extremely busy so this project was put on the backburner for a little while until last night. I used a grinder to cut the back panel out of the amplifier case. I then fitted the back of another computer case to it and started checking the fit of the motherboard.

I bought a small power supply for the case but I'm not sure if it's going to work. I'm now on the hunt for a power supply that will work. I also need to build a mounting system for the mother board and hard drives.

More to come soon!!

Most rackmount computer cases are way too long for the case that I already own. They are designed for server racks, not shallow DJ racks. I have found a few special shorter cases but they are typically pretty expensive and I already had this laying around.

Why build it? I enjoy building stuff and it's too cold to work on my Jeep project in the garage ;-)

I paid to have a rack server built 2 years ago. I gave them very specific deminsions on how deep I wanted the case to be. Then I get it home and it is too long :trimad: I took it back and being a custom job they wouldnt refund me anything. I asked to have everything put into a smaller case but my mother board is too big for the smaller cases :trisad: So it now collects dust in my studio.
