True :cry:
Indeed. Here's a handy diagram which explains this theory when applied to CPS3 carts:

Are these any use or too small?

Where's a good place to get the pink conductive foam, perhaps to cut to size?

Gracias. :)

Decent size, but the walls are pretty thin.

Cheers chief, it's a pain in the hole trying to find a decent PCB box size. Trying to avoid the expensive Corstat solution! :lol:

Sounds like a quote from the George Osbourne school of economics. :lol:

Bumpety

Want to get some boxes for my pcb's. Unfortunately my love of Konami's 80's shoot em ups means I need larger than usual boxes. 400x300x70.

Can't find any pizza style boxes this size, can anybody help?

I ran out of boxes and shelf space so I bought some more book cases and boxes. I can't get the brown boxes I got before which is a shame as they fitted the book cases perfectly.

I picked up some new white boxes but they are slightly taller which means you can't fit two rows in a book case. Still, they are much better organised then what they were.
