I’d check on other forums (specifically modwiggler) for news on MDLR - iirc they’ve gone AWOL - but please check as I might be wrong
Konstantlab Boardpower
Was the best option I had before switching to 3A distros.
I am currently running 2x 3A distros in a Makenoise case with a few VH.S modules, Sensory Translator and Pams are on the MN bus. Running nicely for me.
Im a fan of Konstantlab. I run a few euro cases with it and all my Serge stuff runs on 3 Cihla’s. They have a filtered section on each of those Boardpowers. Not sure if it helps or not? They also just released a bigger euro setup. My euro cases were built by Blackhole cases
Solid folks making a real nice case.

For anyone that happens to be following along from my question/discussion a few posts back, I decided that grabbing a Capsule was the path of least resistance for my new dual-power case.
So, here is what I ended up with:
Very similar to the other case I built, above, but instead of the Malekko Power I am using the Capsule plus a 12v distribution block that Dubpixel had pointed out a while back. (Haven’t plugged everything in yet, but seems to all be working thus far after testing with a few individual modules.)
And I decided I didn’t want to give Synthrotek any more of my money, so the person who helped me put this together just cut a little panel for a power inlet and switch.

If anyone needs we’ve got a handful of Capsules that we’re happy to pass along cheap
[edit] they gone
I mean we have more but we’d have to build em, so we can make it happen just don’t expect us to ship em tomorrow

Nice work Sean!
I don’t know why more modular heads don’t go with these for cases. Always feels so obvious of a choice if you want to transport. What model did you ues? Or is this a stock Synthrotek sans power? I have spent ages on a few case websites working out the best dimensions but can never decide what to go with.
Edit: looks like the same Apache listed above yea?
Yes, it is another Apache 4800 case from Harbor Freight. Those are the best balance of size, ruggedness, and cost that I have seen.
Another reasonably-priced option that someone either mentioned here, on Discord, or that I possibly saw on Modwiggler (I forget) is the Explorer 5117, which fits 6u and ~100hp.

New power supply from Toppobrillo seems like a potential successor to Malekko Power as a good option for DIY cases for legacy modules:
Would be curious to hear thoughts if/when anyone gives one a try.
