Hi all,
Just finished putting my lil setup together and been waiting to show it off. anyways if you wanna take a look at it, check out my blog.
I made the case from plywood and just added the fittings and carpeted it. The lid is coffin hinge lid so its pretty good for carrying around etc. Case is sitting on a 2 tier keyboard stand which seems perfect for my laptop to sit on.
Anyways would love to see other pics of more setups..
pls post!

Rids nice job. I built my own case, but it is not as compact as yours.

Looks good Rids.
I'm in the process of building a wheel around console as I carry two rack mounted amps which are quite heavy. (One is a backup - yeh I know - I'm paranoid!)
It definitely helps when you can just take off the lid plug in your speakers and play. Going home twenty mins after finishing playing is always nice too!! :)

What do you attach the computer on? Seems usefull in my case. Nice way of saving space, especially if you're a bar-dj with limited space available.

I recently worked out my budget and couldnt make that rackmount;(
But, now, I'm working on my pc chassis side pannels. Im cutting two rectangular holes (leaving about 2 inches of original metal,) on each side of the case, and then molding 2 plexi-glass sheets into it to form windows.kinda like this one: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15001#
A cheap and handy solution! Then recently visited some webs and got groovy customisation stuff for the case!
Anyone interested please have a look at these web pages!
Im sure anyone (even if not interested can have a look!)
www.pccasegear.com (amazing stuff but ships only to aus)

btw, Great work on that setup lej! Love the work on plywood, really looks pro!

Nice setup @ anewsome! I wish I saw your website earlier for ideas. My brother is a carpenter so it made things heaps easier. Recommend the use of rivets as it definitely looks pro.
My case and laptop is sitting on a keyboard stand designed to hold 2 keyboards. You can adjust angle and height of your laptop quite easily. The stand folds up in less than 10secs. My case is designed around being really mobile so it has a carry handle & weighs between 5-10kg. Recommend it for anyone who does mobile djing. Stand made by proel. I'm yet to deck out the rest of the case with foam, but getting it all custom cut on a water jet so the xp10's fit exact, then deck it with polished stainless.
I don't recommend including your amp in the rackmount because the amp is heavy enough to carry on its own. I have a carry sleeve for my amp and an aluminium case for my laptop. I can upload more pics if anyone wishes to have a look at the entire setup.
Having a led light sounds pretty good @ djaditya. I might chuck it in but might not go for the flashing thing.
Nice posts & links @ everyone

Great set-up Luke, like it alot.
You can see my home set-up by selecting my blog, I'm able to mix superbly with the hercules and mixer set-up, but i'm still hungry for a more reliable/advanced controller, XP10 just isn't for me though sadly.
So maybe Time coded CD's or something..

thx!
