Shell cases

2003-06-27 by Mike Estee

MOTM Metalworkers,

Is anyone else interested in a metal case for their MOTM system? By 
this I mean a rack mountable enclosure, not a rack itself. I'd like to 
build a steel enclosure with ports and mount points on the back for the 
power supply to mount in, as well as an audio break out panel. A 
breakout for Larry's "MOTM Standard Power Connector" would be welcome 
too.

Would anyone else be interested in something like this?

Something a little like the Cyndustries six pack at about the same 
price point.

What I am interested in is if anyone can share their experiences 
getting cases fab'd. I've done my own hardware work through 
Schaeffer-Apparatebau, but they only work in aluminum and they don't do 
forming. I'm more than happy to do the design work myself, but I'm not 
sure where to find a reputable metal fabrication shop.

I know a lot of you like the classic wood cases, and I do too, but I 
also like having modules all neatly contained, and I'm guessing others 
do as well.
