Here's my Buffalo II setup. One box contains the transformers, raw regulation and smoothing (Qspeed rectifiers, R-C-R-C-R-C fitering), then feeds the main box containing Placids (less the rectifiers) and Buff II / Legato. The buffalo only has a single BNC SPDIF input and is fed from a M2tech EVO. Legato is essentially the Legato 2 but with OS-CON PS decoupling caps anf Wima film output caps. Cases are custom from Front Panel Express.     Uploaded with ImageShack.usCannot say enough about how good it sounds. Edited by user Wednesday, October 27, 2010 11:58:20 PM(UTC)

JD Hi Jeff, The switch was from Mouser, details below: 693-1241.6821.1120 Schurter Pushbutton Switches Latch 12A 250VAC Pretty expensive but very solid. They also do one that is illuminated but it is $$$ Regards

Thanks Martin. Tho ex$pensive, I went with the one with an illuminated blue ring... what the hell..cool looking and this is a build I'll be living with for a while...at least until the Buffalo III ;^) I found this on eBay from Hong Kong.... much better price, and they have alternate colors. It's nickel plated Brass and Stainless Steel.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebay...gename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT Another question... how high is the case? On my build, I'll be using the Tridents and they take a bit more air-space. Looks like they'd be a very tight fit in your case. Jeff Edited by user Wednesday, December 15, 2010 12:22:19 AM(UTC)

Jeff,
You are right, the Tridents would not fit vertically, I ended up buying a similar pin strip header but with longer pins and mounting the Tridents horizontally. Hve to admit, the illuminated ring looks cool!
Regards

There are a number of different sizes, the Mouser page is http://www.mouser.com/ca.../catalogUSD/642/1565.pdfLook at the fully insulated section. Regards
