new in 'town'! some Qs!

[Varoudis]

Hello,

Im preparing myself to start slowly with the new year by building my first modular synth.
I think I have done a lot of reading (from the net, I havent found some book at the moment) and I thing the best way to start is by building Yusynth modules.

I will try to do as much DIY work as possible because Im low on cash (phd student...) but I have seen alot of site selling pcbs or giving away the design.

Questions: ( some info in my question might be WRONG!! correct me )
1) Yusynth uses 210mm modules and 1/4' jacks but I have seen a lot DIY modules using 3.5mm jacks and sorter modules (in height). Because Ill do the panels myself with plex-glass and a lazer cutter can I make them smaller and use 3.5 jacks? Do you thing the Pots and the other panel components will fit?

2) I dont thing I have found a good DIY case and Power unit. Can you help me out with a link?

3) Comment or links with things that a total newbie has to see?

thnx
Tasos
