Default Re: Project assembly guides

I've started to adopt a more commercial approach to construction by reusing standardised enclosures and modules (19-inch rack stuff) with Eurocards and slotted backplanes.

It's remarkably easy to get used equipment that can be stripped down for the hardware and the plethora of Eurocard-type PCBs and edge connectors makes it easier still.

PCB material is still sold in Eurocard sizes (160mm x 100mm) if you want to go it alone but pre-drilled matrix cards are now my go-to.
