New Q68 Case

I am considering a slightly larger Q68 case, with added height to accommodate the I2C and QL Net Connectors on the rear end plate, which would save drilling into the case side wall. The new case would have an added 15mm in height, which would give enough space on the Rear Panel to accommodate the I2...

Re: Q68 Order Process

Hi, I must apologise for the condition of the Q68 end plates. The end plates are made from black anodised laser cut plates, with all the required holes CNC machined.

Re: Today I Received...

From Rich at RWAP (via sellmyretro.com): Mug (or indeed the coffee) not included ;) I'm looking to install it over the weekend. My QL is rather prone to key bounce, so hopefully this solves it.
