I contacted Jon several months back and inquired if he had the time to do a mod on an SX-64, we talked a few times on the phone...He seems like a nice enough guy and i felt comfortable sending him the unit....he wrote me a few times after he received it then nothing. I've given him PLENTY of opportunity to fix the matter and he refuses to contact me. At this point i consider the computer stolen, and he a thief. Obviously, I would avoid any dealings with him.

i would not recommend drilling these, the numbers are too close to the holes, so if you drill it it would look very bad, just keep them 3mm.

Well, after lots of building, i decided to give you guys the first peek at my progress as i'm waiting for my rare parts and two knobs to arrive. A couple of things for people who haven't built it, 3mm LEDs instead of 5mm, (the original x0x calls for 5mm, so if you go off the BOM for the x0x, change this) The stansoffs should be a little different, 3/8 is a little much, i just bought some 5/16 (they're not here yet) and i think that should be good...i'll update everyone once its done. LED standoffs, dont use the ones on the BOM...they arent tall enough. Here are a couple of pics, i liked the "slimmer" look of Sashas so i did it...the dark part is silver although you cant tell because it's dark. I'm building two, they are going to be gifts one for my business partner (Paul Barker formerly Ministry etc) and the other for our employee Dwayne Dassing (Mentallo and the fixer)

hay has anyone drilled through this panel with good results...i just noticed that it's made for 3mm LEDs instead of 5mm

Sasha, that b0x looks great, the slimmer look certainly makes that enclosure look nicer! I think i may try to tackle that too. Another thing, I'm an effects manufacturer in Texas and i ship stuff all over the world pretty much every day. IF you decide to do more panels or even PCBs i would be more than happy to help you distribute them..that way you're only shipping one box and i can ship them from here. I understand if you dont want to, but know the offer is always there. :)

Holy COW those panels are awesome! I got mine in the mail today, and i have to say...GREAT JOB!!! those look fantastic. I've been super busy with my work so i havent been keeping up with the x0xb0x threads but if someone is offering a "rare parts" kit please email me at malekkoheavyindustry@gmail.com. I dont have a bunch of time to source parts these days so any help would be appreciated. And a personal "thank you" goes out to Sasha, i truly appreciate all you put into this. Although this project had it's ups and downs, please know I am and always will be very thankfull to you as the squelchiness emits form my monitors! now if i could just get 2 sets of those sweeeeeeeeet translucent buttons!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D ;) :)

Ok, so if your friend has a wife she has access to the packages. This should be easily sorted out then. Hopefully you will contact the sister, who can contact the wife and drop these packages in the mail. I personally paid for 2 sets of PCBs what seems like a year ago and 2 sets of panels. I will also say that i got a few nasty emails from you when i didnt respond the next day to an email you wrote me wanting money for panels. And its been many many months that you've had money from people without anything in return. I think everyone has been pretty nice so far about this. I think if the shoe were on the other foot you'd be writing every day a where's my stuff email. Luckily for you, i'm not that kind of person. But you took on this project, made a bad decision about giving other peoples property to someone else, so take on the responsibility on getting people the stuff they paid for...a long time ago.

fantastic demo....i think i have some SSM2040s laying around...

simply fantastic! i just go t the notice of my baseboard kit shipping from smash...so this really adds the fuel to build it up!!!

I'm Scenario 1, i just looked at when i "signed up" for 2 kits...in a couple of months it'll be a year?!? It doesnt seem that long ago...has anyone got their kits...or did i get skipped?

Did I miss something. Did the money people (me too) sent jaisen not get sent to sasha? i was under the impression that it had already been sent.

I dont expect the screening to last very long...i used packing tape to clamp my faceplate to the PCB for the JBwelding and tape took off some of the screening :(

Hey Sasha, I didnt read all 10 pages of this thread so this may be the wrong place for it but if you are doing parts orders for the x0x please put me down x2 (those buttons are sooo badass!!!)

$$$ SENT!!! 8)

Hey, I got my invoice, i will pay tonight or tomorrow. THANKS!

Oh DUH, i dont need screws for the faceplate...I'm a little slow..i've been breathing solder all day :D

Yup! i got them Friday. I need to get some black screws for the 4 corners.

Thanks JIMP for doing this i got the knobs...i'm getting excited!

my panels look fantastic!!! THANKS!!!!!

Can i be added, My email address is malekkoheavyindustry at gmail.com thanks Josh

me x2 please +PICs

2 please!

thanks for the info. I really like the sound of the 8580, but i only have 6581s...i cant ever seem to get the 8580s though. And to be honest i've never even heard of the 6582 until today. I've been doing research on them every since i saw your box. Thanks again for posting that great looking box...the LAST thing i need is another project...but as soon as the PCBs are available i'm putting everything else on hold! now to find 6582s or 8580s... ;)

Wilba, I'm speechless, you did such an awesome job on this project! I look forward to getting PCBs when they're ready...you mentioned you have some 6582s FS...could i put myself down for 9 (it's good to have one spare) and i missed where you got those knobs from? now back to drooling at the pics!
