10 muinets of cad time £50 of laster cutting and you could have a case that looks fantastic.

If you can point us towards a company that does it that cheaply, I think we all would be interested. I was looking into this a while back on behalf of a client, and the best quote I got was £300 for a one off.

Not a company but I could do it I have just recived all the laser cut parts back for the new dash for my marcos including waterjet cut venner to do inlay with. it cost £25 and there is alot of intrecate logo work.

I am planing on making up some mono block enclosures with wood side pannles I will take some photos once im done (mind jan as im buisy on the marcos at the moment) I expect the cut materials for one enclosure to be in the regoin of30 to 40 depending on the wood I use.

I'm finishing up a simple design that would work out to roughly half that cost. All ali of course, professionally made and anodised. (Based loosely on this DIY chassis but a fair bit longer and deeper). I just wonder whether there's enough call for it in the UK...

Not if the interest in the Propods is anything to go by Vikash!

it is all ally it has a CNCed marcs logo in the surface cut down to .7 mm and wood watter jet cut to inlay into the alloy like I say this is for a car dash.

But an all aloy hifi case with strips of wood on the side like the peter danyel case should be doable for a resnobly low matereal cost.

Thanks for the modu-shop link. Their t-amp chassis is a neat idea. Pity it still lumbers you with the spring clips though.
