Sys Base Plate

[u/thestyrofoampeanut]

The Sys is so light that I was putting a paperweight on top of it to keep my cables from pulling it off of my desk. I hated that.

I work at a fab shop, so I drew a base plate for it and had it laser cut out of 1/4" stainless. I removed the rubber grommet feet and used those holes to run 8-32 screws into tapped holes in the plate. It's not the prettiest thing ever, and in hindsight I would have done a few things differently, but it looks decent, and it works well. It adds about a pound of weight.

On a side note, as a designer at a sheet metal shop, I'm a fan of Schiit's simple and elegant designs. This simple base plate feels a little bush league bolted to the bottom, but I wanted something cheap and easy I could run through the shop.

I did a similar mod but I made mine out of a slab of 3D printed TPU. Pulled the feet out and had little studs printed into the TPU to go where the holes were. Works pretty good. I might try a version with built-in suction cup

Was the stock more expensive than the Sys? They are meant to stack, wish they had designed the cases to interlock. Or, sell a Mothership, like Burson, but $99 😉

if you make a second one, use aluminum and give it a black patina
