Found or No Longer Wanted WTB WG K6100 High Voltage cover

At the risk of starting a Mech E discussion, that's not the intent of the cover. It was to keep fingers out, EMI in (likely?) and to allow some air flow to cool components. It was not designed to dissipate heat through conduction.
It is a Faraday cage as well as a heat sink.

While it will keep fingers out, the screwed connections will allow that to absorb any EM and ground it out.
 
Build your own Class D amps!

I had a student team who tried to build my theoretical 10 kW Class H hybrid amp.
They got surprisingly close to making it work. They just ran out of time waiting on multiple parts orders.

Holy crap, the damage I could do with a team of students building my ideas.

well not really the cage cover by design is not but i figured it could help a little bit so i left a little extra meat on the sides. one could argue that the extra holes i put on the back of cage could be detrimental to cooling as well as it slightly decreases surface area. or one could argue the extra holes on the cage could influence the the flow of air which would expose more air over the surface to improve cooling. the important thing is i have tested cages/covers the temperature and did find any change.
i would love to brag of an improvement but i can only verify an equivalent. well unless you mount a fan that is
