NOTE: Due to the fact that each builder chooses how to interpret the arrangement of controls, the manufacturer makes no claims for the suitablility of these enclosures for any particular combination of components. The builder must determine whether to use certain holes and or punchouts or may drill their own. We have attempted to provide the minimum number of openings to cut down on the drilling and also to create uniformity in the design.

Please make sure that things are where you expect them to be before making any modifications to the enclosure including using the punchout for the rotary switch. If you wish to use a full-size rotary witch (nominal 1" diam. inside the case) you will need to install the nearby capacitor with longer leads so that you can bend it out of the way. Details HERE. Be sure to put some shrink wrap or such on the leads so they don't short out. This method was approved by Tasa the designer of the G3020. Alternatively, you can use the mini rotary switch shown here which can be ordered from Digikey, Part# 360-2379-ND.

This enclosure was designed to keep the height of the finished rig at an absolute minimum. Accordingly, the ventilation opening (logo) will accommodate any of the 10mm thick fans up to 92mm square, of which there are many on the market. An assortment can be found here. If a thicker fan is desired then the builder must decide whether to mount it externally or trim the internal heat sink accordingly. There is no information on whether this last option would be advised. The builder takes complete responsibility for such decisions. However, if someone does try it and it works well please post it on the Art-Tronics Enclosures Blog.
