PamAdding stickers to my #eurorack case. #collage #art rendering corporate logos from schwag largely incomprehensible
schamspeare@chipchirp Is that a homemade case? I have a Trogotronic one that has a similar hardshell style. I was wondering if other companies made them and how much they sold for.
@schamspeare tl;dr power lunch-boxes are themselves worth $200-ish.
@chipchirp I guess I misinterpreted the size. I wouldn't buy anything too small. My Trogotronic one is 168 hp. Tons of power. Pretty much a perfect size. And even though I don't carry it around very much, I like the solidity of the pelican-style case. Still a pretty good value, I think. Haven't seen anything more affordable.
@schamspeare flight cases? Might have to deal with a bit too much space, they don’t necessarily come in eurorack dimensions.
Here is my project. The rack is a 104HP rack, but i might only be able to fit like ~101 or something.
@chipchirp Heavy duty. Is 104 enough for you? In theory, I love the idea of small racks — I could dream them up on Modular Grid all day, but in practice I need a little more. I have a 208 case and the 168, and even with those I am near constantly rearranging them. With a smaller case, I think that tendency would be exacerbated even further.
@schamspeare im new to eurorack but i have a lot of strangely shaped oddware. This is the most expansive my gear has ever been. I get the ceiling for this hobby is high, but my wee girl-arms can’t lug just anything about.
@chipchirp You’re carrying it from place to place, eh? Mine basically don’t go anywhere. No modular community where I live, and I think I’d be scared to take it anywhere anyway. Still prefer cases to open-ended wall racks, though. I like conceiving of the case as an instrument, like the Buchla easel, and I’m always trying to find the perfect assemblage of modules. It’s hell for my OCD tendencies, though. :)
