butchindigo Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 05/07/10 Posts: 2	I just bought a RR2150 in February and I love it. I replaced my Sherwood of 30 years loyal service. The only thing I did not like of the RR2150 was that the shell had no character. The metal shell was just not doing it any justice (I have it on top of my entertainment cabinet, in plain view). This is suppose to be a "Retro Receiver"....where's the wood! So I had a wood shell/casing made for it.

Your's would fit in much better than mine and have a higher WAF. Would you share how much it cost? Is cooling an issue? Would love to know from Outlaw if this would impact the warranty.

AvFan Desperado Registered: 09/12/05 Posts: 619 Loc: El Cajon, California	That case is very nice! I like the way the grain wraps around. I noticed some of the openings in the metal cabinet are covered. Does the RR2150 get hot with less ventilation? _________________________ AvFan Outlaw 976 \| ATI 2005 \| M&K 850s Left, Center & Right, Surround-55s, MX-70B Sub \| Harmony 950 remote \| Panamax 5100 \| OPPO UDP-203 \| LG OLED55B7

Not sure what his interest would be in making others. I'll keep you posted. Cooling is not an issue. My experience is that the unit really does not get too warm. The shell does not touch the top, so air can vent throughout the whole top. Plus, the bottom is vented (before anyone comments...I know heat rises).

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	That case is pure awesome. If I had a 2150 I would make a case for it just for the retro look. Whoever did the work could make some $$ if they wanted to make more. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	It's quite handsome - a nice match with the 2150's unique faceplate design.

My first thought was that having a few more slots might now hurt, but I am not surprised that it's getting good ventilation through those slots. As for the heat rising thing, radiators also need to draw cool air in from below in order to have some air to reject heat to, so you are correct that those bottom vents really are important. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

Nicely done�the match truly surprised me. If there are no cooling issues, it's a winning combination. _________________________ This ain't for the underground.

jeffdavis Gunslinger Registered: 08/08/03 Posts: 98 Loc: Columbia, SC	I too would be interested in a wood shell for my RR2150, depending on the cost. Keep us posted as to whether or not your friend would be interested in making more of these. Thanks.
