If ∗what∗ is the case? No context = vague meaning. (I don't use the
Yahoo system, I get the messages via email.)

Pots are cheap, with Alphas running a dollar and change. Sealed pots
are much more expensive, so why use them?

Knobs range from cheap to expensive, depending on what you want.

Most switches are just a few bucks each, though some run more.

A front panel requires functional design, graphic design, and
camera-ready artwork. Then, after your panels are imaged, you've got
to make holes in the panel for mounting the components (drill press or punch).

Not really sure what you are saying/asking.
