heady 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 Any chance of ordering the chassis + front/back panels as well? Regards CK Hi CK, Mouz has offered to help get the acrylic panels from our usual source. How much will depend on number of people involved. From past experience, it is about S$20 per set of front and back panels. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heady 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 All, For order of the panels, we will start another group buy later. For any orders of components from Digikey or Mouser. It is quite difficult to organise this as some people will prefer some components over others. What I will do will be to place what I will order for myself, in another group buy and if you want exactly the same set of components, you can participate. How's that? Otherwise, my head will spin at the possible combinations. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
