Update: F. Reid Shippen and I formed a new company that will be building the switch mode power supplies,
he has been running his 4048 for a couple months now with our first "production" unit with excellent results.
He also turns off his desk when leaving for a couple days and turns the whole thing back on at-once because
our supply has a inrush/soft start circuit that is much easier on the electronics than the one bucket at a time
method, we will be up and running in the next 60 days and we will be cranking these things out, we settled
on a up to 56 channel model with the option of plasma metering, with a larger unit on the way. I have been
very busy building this Altec console for Dan Auerbach and it also uses our switch mode supply and filter. N

Sorry! all is finally sorted.
This model runs up to 56ch, (larger unit in development now)
It uses about 40% less energy
It can lower your quad buss noise floor by up to 6dBu
It has less fan noise
It puts off about 500 watts less heat
It makes your console sound better (blind test with several well known engineers)
In the event of a black/brownout, it shuts itself off until you turn it back on.
It can run 120 and 220.
A separate add-on 265v power supply for plasma meters, will be available in feb. 2014
5 year warranty
$5000
Ordering and shipping in January 2014
Sorry so many things have changed since the beginning of this thread I apologize, I was lucky
enough to gain a business partner that allowed us to make a much more robust design with more
advanced protection and provide world class customers support! Happy Holidays!

Airflow: The cabinet is about 19" deep, approximately the rear 5" has vents on the top and bottom.
Over current protection: Yes multiple, each module has built in current protection, plus there is a fuse on each rail.
Over voltage protection: yes multiple,  each module has built in overvoltage protection, plus there are added scr crowbars.
Local regulation, adjustable via front panel pot with front panel meters, the system can be calibrated in less than 10 min.
No modifications need to be performed to anything and you no longer need to use a power sucking change over unit.

http://www.atomicinstrument.com/ new pics soon.
If you build your power supplies like you build your website I would be seriously worried!
The order page doesn't work at all!
And no photos?
You could spend half an hour and improve your website a lot, and make your possible clients much happier.
