I'm looking at getting some quotes from local fabricators once I get everything dialed in for the compopnents and mounting hardware I'm using. I'll have to put it into a real CAD program for that, but it might be a while.
In general it seems like everyone has their own idea of exactly what the rear panel layout should be (I think I'd like an IEC power inlet, and a couple of HT fuses). Then there are the specific dimensions for the boards, transformer mounting holes, and the PT cut-out. I have my own version, but I thought for wider appeal it might be better to leave out the small holes, say everythig less than 1/4", unless they go with a standardized hole or cut-out such as for the tube sockets and IEC. The others are easy enough to drill as needed. Any thoughts on this, anybody?

Would it be unfair to ask for a source file or maybe a .DXF? There are some mildly perverted things I'd like to do to this chassis, and starting from a dimensioned source would make it so much more convenient.
My only drafting tool is OpenOffice Draw, if that gives you some indication of my pain threshold.
Thanks,
