Modular Electronic Enclosures????

[Harry Bissell]

In the USA look for Bud Cabinets, Cabtron, Emcor-Crenlo, Hammond, Optima,

Schroff, also Rittal. There are others.

Yes Virginia... they are usually very expensive, and very heavy. Not
portable in the
least.

I'd looki into SKB cases, the roto-racks are cheap, the standard cases
have rack
rails front and rear (pissing me off since I have 4 of them WITHOUT the
rear rails,
a feature that should have ALWAYS been included !!!)  and they have shock
mount
cases, bigger than standard but wery well protected.

The steel cabinets can sometimes be had from people on/off list who tire
of the
weight !!! They are usually priced "to be gone now..." but you will
usually need a truck to go  get them.

I had a nice 5 bay workstation type setup, made of particle board covered
with
formica (very pro job, made by an ex-employee of a high end audio mixer
company.
Last I heard it was at "to be gone now" status. I'll enquire if anyone is
in the Detroit
michigan area and has a large truck (biggest pickup maybe, or U-Haul) to
get it. Serious
enquiries offlist.
