Hi Andrew,
Yes, very interested. Some N8VEM case designs is something we really need!
Perhaps a large case for the 18-slot backplane, and a smaller one meant to fit the
8-slot with mean well power supplies (could be a fairly compact desktop unit).
ECB cases would be awesome too.
It would be really cool to have window options for the bus monitor displays on the front.

All,
I'm working on building out some ECB cards for my Siemens 505-6508 chassis build. It's a good experience with RomWBW being available to tie all the boards together. However, I now have a large pile of S-100 boards that I have accumulated. And my mind is moving towards my ultimate goal which is to do a new-build S-100 system. Ant's 18-slot backplane will be here soon.
I know that a couple people on the other side of the ocean have used Moducase parts to make a custom case. However I think I'd like an Optima case - after all they made the case for the original Altair 8800, and the classic light blue color is still available.
If I did up a design with the Optima sales folks, would anyone else be interested in a group buy of cases?
