Reliable sources of amplifier cases?

[profdc9]

I one is trying to build a custom amplifier that is not the Honey Badger, where can one can get a case with heatsinks but without mounting holes so that can be customized? I have a friend that has tried to purchase one on ebay, but it was never delivered. Are there any foreign sellers on ebay/aliexpress that anyone here has experience with?

I tend to use PC cases as amplifier housings.
They are cheap and plentiful and numerous different sizes.
I dismantle power supply except for mains input and switch.
I use a couple of fans (already has mounts in case) to ensure good airflow around heatsink.

I am sceptical buying a chassis off of eBay so probably would never take that chance.
The DIYAudio/modu-shop chassis are probably your best option for something new. Not cheap but good value for the $ imo plus excellent support

Define "foreign"

What Country are YOU in?

This is a Worldwide Forum, we can´t guess or assume.

Ebay and Aliexpress also include worldwide suppliers.

Amp cabinets are bulky and heavy, so freight often costs more than product itself, there are also lots of Covid restrictions complicting delivery.

I found these guys on Google - They seem to make one of everything!

TAKACHI - Manufacturer of electronics enclosures and industrial enclosures

Takachi are excellent. They can machine and print on your enclosure.

1 OFF’s will be expensive.

If you see an aluminium profile you like but don’t like it in the case they have you can ask for a piece of it cut to length.

I have no complain whatsoever with these guys.
