Many thanks to my friend Lee for opening my eyes to this whole thing....
I have embarked on this adventure and buried myself to get it done as quick as I could. Nights & weekends taken to obsession. Not quite done, but running, I'll try to give what details I can. Basics: LCD- Mag Innovision LT565 - $50 ebay Bulb - Ushio-S400DD - Atlanta Light Bulbs - $38 Ballast - 400w HPS Quad Tap - HiDirect - $53 S15 Lens Kit - LL - $65 120V Wiring Kit - LL- $25 AC Adaptor - LL- $10 2 - 12VDC 120mm Fans - LL - $16 Pro Reflector - LL - $15 FS Mirror - LL - $34 20 pin ffc extension - LL - $15 80 mm Fan guards - $2 1- 110v 120mm Fan - Mcmaster.com - $22 Fan cordset & filter guard - Mcmaster.com - $4 Aluminum channel for case- 2 pc @ 8 ft - Mcmaster.com - $33 Set screw shaft collars -Mcmaster.com - $3 Tempered Glass - $12 XL10 Lexan - $12 Total - $409 (not including shippping) As for the rest. I have a studio and happen to have most of the hardware, aluminum, acrylic, and birch plywood in stock or scrap. More details on that later. After some time looking over blogs, I decided on a folded design (most thanks to Pun15her) and dug in with Rhino. I use it for most work and the precision would be helpful with this project. First round:  After finding the fans too loud on the front I worked the design over to include a box at the bottom, with airflow to baffle the sound. Second round (after fabrication work & analysis):  more in next post..... This post has been edited by SculptorM: Nov 7 2006, 04:22 AM -------------------- |
