Unfortunately, new chassis will cost you. Modushop and ParMetal are good options. This is a little less expensive and there are certainly others from AliExpress. It takes a lot of luck and patience to find older stock/surplus chassis for cheap.
Thinking a bit outside the box, you can plan to make your own with aluminum profile framing, plus aluminum panels. Instead of aluminum panels, you could design panels with JLCPCB with holes, cutouts, and silk screening to fit your needs.
One could imagine developing your own line of chassis on that premise. Modular and customizable/repeatable….

Something like this could work if you can buy a blank faceplate for the front and back.
Look for defective power amp.

Ever been on Canuck Audio Mart? There’s a guy with the user name ”stairwaytomusic” based in the peg. He sells lots of vintage things and might be able to help you out if he has an old chassis or something.

Even Bud enclosures are getting pricey.

Where are you? I have some 5 U high unopened amp chassis from DIY Audio shop that I had the Italians make for me for a project I’ll never build. Unassembled in thier original flatpack packaging.
you can have them cheap. i think there are 3 or 4 of them.

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. I have heard about that guy and I'll definetely pass. I've heard too much. I'll find something eventually!
Hi, I think old pro amps would be the way to go and that is kind of what I'm searching for. They're usually plain on the front and are two channel.
Hi, is modushop or parmetal in Canada? With exchange rates and hands out at the border demanding their cut (plus postage) the fun gets taken out of it pretty quickly.Unfortunately, new chassis will cost you.

No, sorry. Looks like you’re gonna have to be a roadie for a few months and then you’ll have lots of connections to blown pro audio power amps. But then you’re no longer interested in diyAudio and are forming your own band, following the siren‘s sweet song of the road until you end up broke in Saskatoon, washing dishes at a diner just to pay for your tab and your drummer thinks he can make a better living from starting a bison jerky business running dried meat across the border, and who has the legal fees for that mess?

I'm selling a HIFI2000 Mini Dissipante 3U case for sale on Canuckaudiomart. Never used, still in shrinkwrap. I bought two and only used one. I built four channels of LM3886 chip amps with dual PSUs/toroids into the first one. I don't know if that's big enough to meet your needs, but just thought I'd put it out there.

Price is CAD 300.00, which is a lot cheaper than buying it from the company.

I forgot to add that in the first Mini Dissipante, I also installed two inrush protection boards. IOW, there's plenty of space in those cases.
