matherp said The case is the same as always. MULTICOMP MCRM2015S mostly available from Element14/Farnell or the HAMMOND RM2015S available from DigiKey, Mouser, etc.
I've got some nice PCB end-plates but, with apologies, I can't remember who sent me them - Geoff, Grogster (maybe on Silicon Chip)? but there are designs out there. What I have got is the original dxf files for the end-plates which can be used to laser-cut, 3d print, or create PCB designs.

Hi Peter, could you please upload the DXF file? Perhaps someone could use it to create suitable PCB designs!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Matthias,

could you please update my order to 5 x "Full House" versions with all options?

ManiB | Manfred | Germany | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | | Please use lead-free HASL PCBs

Thanks a lot ;)

P.S., I mentioned the “lead-free HASL PCBs” because, legally speaking, items imported into Germany are not allowed to contain lead.

Please write "yes" if you're still in – thanks.
Bitte "yes" bei "August OK?" eintragen wer dabei bleibt, danke.

The housing appears to be cheapest at DigiKey:
Das Gehäuse scheint bei DigiKey am günstigsten zu: https://www.digikey.de/de/products/detail/hammond-manufacturing/RM2015S/2094831

PS Immer noch kein PSRAM vefügbar, falls einer vor mir die Verfügbarkeit feststellt gerne eine kurze Info, danke!
There’s still no PSRAM available; if anyone spots it becoming available before I do, please let me know briefly – thanks!

25 ist das neue Limit! Zur Zeit sind noch 2-3 Boards verfügbar.

added my "yes".

Ad PSRAM: if no PSRAM will be available, as I have some left over from earlier experiments, I would manually solder it. So no PSRAM would be no showstopper for me if the order is placed without them.

Gerald

P.S. I think the totals are incorrect, but I didn't want to tweak other lines as my own ...

Also a "yes" from me! It's already in the list.

What Gerald wrote applies to me as well:

Right, everyone’s on board – brilliant! I’ll place the order in calendar week 32 – that’s early August – subject to all components being in stock. I’ll get in touch shortly before then with the exact costs and payment options.
There are now a maximum of three boards and one adapter with a casing left to allocate. Everything else has been reserved and I don’t intend to order any more.

Okay, alle sind dabei, prima! Ich werde die Bestellung vorbehaltlich der Verfügbarkeit aller Bauteile in KW 32, also Anfang August, aufgeben. Ich melde mich kurz vorher mit den genauen Kosten und den Bezahlmöglichkeiten.
Es sind jetzt maximal noch drei Boards und ein Adapter mit Gehäuse zu vergeben. Alles andere ist reserviert und ich möchte nicht weiter aufstocken.

Have you ever thought about ordering the PCBs in black instead of green? They cost a few cents extra, but they look so much more high-quality—and black is beautiful. The PCB panels should be black too, of course—what else? ;)

I would like to join in for 1 board.
