Weird, I haven't been receiving notifications the last few days so, sorry for a slow response. With the current size boards, I have had customers install 2 pre's in a standard 1U rack. They have used either the JLM PSU kit or the Five Fish Studios PSU kit from Owel. Both have great companies and are great guys to deal with. Th guys have been buying a stock 1U enclosure from Parmetal or one of the other standard companies. Front panels they have done thru Front Panel Express.
So, it is doable now with only 2 preamps. I would not say it is a good first project though. There is a lot to handle on your own plus building the PSU portion of it.
4 preamps in a 1U is most desirable. It is in the back of my mind. The PCB only would be simple to do. The enclosure and front panel would also not be hard but expensive to initiate.
The best deal going is still the 500 series I think. With an 11 space rack, the cost per module is averaged down
very nicely.
So, long answer short, I may do the PCB for a 4 pre in a 1U sometime soon but probably
not a full kit with enclosure and front panel.
Cheers!
