Oh, I'm never too far away Mike. Always floatin' around in the background.
Dang, I think my PCB is 330mm wide...just a little too big for that enclosure. Will have to hunt and see if they're available in other sizes. How sturdy is that top panel? I've got some heavy iron to mount to it.

Re: Two Amp Projects: 8x100W DIY & H/K 770 Restoration
That's some beautiful work Mike. You should do a piece giving readers a little tour of your whole audio setup. I think people would find that interesting.
Where'd you source that enclosure for the 8x100W? I'm gathering parts for an amp build of my own, and I like the looks of that.

As someone who actually has built and operated a submerged oil PC, my semi-random thoughts: -You'll need to include "oil vapor" as one of the downsides, if you're thinking about an un-sealed system.

One take on the floating floor idea: You don't need to cover the entire floor with the foam. Most commercial floating floor assembles use a system of resilient piers to support the floor structure. The open space around the piers between the floating floor and the subfloor below is typically either ...

If I'm stressing a bench-built system, as opposed to just sitting it there long enough to make sure it all works, I will usually plug in a 120 and let it blow across the board.
