OK, the next step is kind of done. All transformers and chokes are done form “outside” of the amp (under the bulge). I have attached the capacitors and the output transformer to the “inside”.  This silicone attachment that for the computer grade caps the previously mention in this thread might be does not look sexy or “commercial” but in realty it works absolutely the best then any other mounting method as it dumps the chassis and heat isolates the capacitors.

A few words about the heat management inside of the amp…. The entire amp is sealed and has only one input and one out holes. Input is taken care by a filtered fan that you can see on the back. (it is very quite and it is decoupled form the chassis). The air then thrown out via those small holes around the 6C33C. The caps that you se in the picture looks like mount very closely but in realty they do have enough space between then to allow the air flow. All large caps are 85C. The output transformer is amorphous Lundahl LL1627 in “D” configuration.
