Building the flightcase, Pt. 6
Just in time, 1 day before campzone, I finished the flightcase and the server. I added felt to the inside of the doors, and it looks really nice.
Then I put in the server and the storage, I also used an APC rack pdu to add a timer to the outlets. The server-outlet has to wait 60 seconds before turning on to allow the storage to boot properly.

Good to see the project finished. The result is looking very nice.

This is a great idea. Could you share how much it cost? I’d really like to make one myself and would like to know what I might expect.

Hi Halldór, thanks for the compliment. I don’t know where you live so the prices might be different there. I ordered everything from a Belgium company, all the parts for the flightcase where about 280 euros. You should expect some extra expenses if you want to have the wood cut the right sizes (if you don’t own a table saw). You should check out the shopping list in part 1

Hi mate,
That’s a really good job you’ve done there- very impressed!
I’ve been asked to make one for a friend of mine for his turntables but I’ll be honest I don’t think I can do it in time. I’ve not ordered the parts yet and I leave the UK in under 3 weeks.. How long do it take you from when you had all the parts?

Hi Conrad,
Thank you very much :) It depends on how much free time you have. But this big one was finished in 2 weeks. If I count the hours it may be around 40 hours but I’m not really sure anymore. But it is a cool project, so if you have the spare time, go for it! :)
