BPNYC ZERO Halliburton Eurorack Modular Travel Case
One of a kind eurorack modular case!
I used to work at vintage clothing store in NYC. One day customer brought in 2 Vintage Halliburton travel case. That was the first time I actually learned about this cool travel case.
I fell in love with this space age/spy movie/durable design and aluminum material right away. Since then I always wanted one for myself but never had an opportunity for some reason.
In Eurorack modular world, case is essential to power up the module and also to protect modules…
Everybody spends hundreds of dollars on their modules but a lot of them don’t like to spend much on their cases… I have a completely opposite of that idea. I would want a case that’s durable and also shows your character and aesthetic.
That’s when I realized that I wanted to do make one of a kind case that’s beautiful and original, also strong. Vintage Halliburton case fulfilled all my needs on that. Indeed these cases are designed to survive tough condition on all sorts of traveling and on top of that they look cool. It will protect your modules and you will stand out at the show with this space looking design. You can find pictures of Beatles traveling with this case or Apollo 11 Astronauts carry moon rocks back to earth in a Halliburton case!!!
These cases are made for different scenarios. They are made as for traveling/camera equipment/business brief case… at BPNYC we would like to convert these cases into one of a kind Eurorack Modular Cases!!! Just like Don Buchla was using Halliburton cases for their Music Easel back in the day?? How cool is that?
Here is how it works to build each one of this unique case:
1.finding a right size case that’s suitable for Eurorack.
2.get rid of unnecessary parts and clean up… (ie: brief case folders or whatever inside the case and sometimes stuff on outside)
3.removing original long hinges that connects top and bottom case and adding removable hinges(so that case top comes off). Also replacing all four feet to slightly taller ones so it doesn’t damage new hinges.
4.installing eurorack power bus, rails…
*Each case I find is in different condition so they all require slightly different jobs…
*There are a lot of small details to make each cases look nice and function properly~
All cases are already in vintage used condition so they all have scratches and imperfections but that’s part of the cool patina factor for these cases!

Description
Konstant Lab Power SET is an ideal choice of power for DIY case builders. Everything that you need to power up your case is included in one complete SET. HammerPWR SET lite is the best choice for eurorack studio and traveling cases with power hungry modules.
HammerPWR SET – includes a small 100W power board (zero HP) (+12V / 5A, -12V / 2.5A, +5V / 2A), power inlet panel with switch, two Filtered bus boards #1 – each of them has 18 output headers (6 filtered and 12 direct) or Filtered bus boards #2 – each of them has 19 output headers (6 filtered and 13 direct) which ensures that you will be able to power up quite a lot of modules, 120W Meanwell power brick, wires, spacers, and screws.
HammerPWR is a small but powerful and low weight PSU solution. It is sturdy and stable PSU with immunity against high startup currents which require some modules. You can mount it into your synth case without sacrificing any HP. HammerPWR is safely supplied from an external DC power brick (20-24V).
Filtered Bus Board is a low profile bus board with extra filtered output headers. Bus board contains 18 or 19 output headers (depends on what kind of bus board you chose). 12 (13) direct headers and 6 filtered headers with LC filters. Filtered headers are specially dedicated to feed analog modules that are sensitive/susceptible to power quality. Filters reject noise caused by PSU and digital modules by 70%. Each power rail is protected against over voltage so your modules and system are safe under all conditions. 90% of the bus board area has only 11mm with inserted connectors. This feature makes Filtered bus board an ideal power distribution solution for skiff cases where depth is a concern.
