About here, though on the other side of the GFX card:Depending, will be a bit more to the rear of case (left in above picture) if I need a bit more room for for cable to front panel jack. ... Actually, looking at that, will probably do it upside down (from what it is in the picture) so that existing jack will be on the side I want it to relevant to the pot. (Jack on exterior will be at bottom, with volume knob above it.)Speaking of pots, there's a good few options... could get an ALPS RK27 in the right max resistance (I'm pretty sure 10kΩ), or for extra fun get a stepped attenuator (sure, it's silly in a $100 dac/amp but hey what's the point of life without a little silliness? There's some decent-looking $25 taiwanese ones on ebay...)As far as actually mounting it, I figured I can find some standoffs in the size that fits the existing screw holes on the board that I can epoxy to case – can definitely fit it so that at least two of those holes line up with the non-vented bits of the case, so just do that and then screw it to those.
