So I was looking out to the next step after the 1176, and that was going to be the Gyraf SSL bus comp clone. But, after looking at it, Chameleon Labs has basically implemented that design already, in a nice case, with some of the extras that would have probably ended up costing me $400 to $450 to do. With their introductory rebate the cost is only $600. So it just wasn't worth the sweat and toil in that case and I just bought the Chameleon Labs box.

When you are talking about $800 vs. $3000 or $500 vs. $2500, that's an easy choice to DIY. But for a $150, it ain't worth it.
