I made a pair of cases for Dan (dan1502) and there has been interest from several others. The following shows the specifications, photos of the finished product and during design and manufacture.
The finishng and anodising was performed by Alpha anodising and is the same as DCS components (who use Alpha anodising). Alpha have worked with Naim for over 20 years and we were shown parts from the £125,000 statement amplifier when we visited. The quality of finish is superb. dCS | Only The Music
There is a choice of black or silver as per the DCS Vivaldi and other components.
The final case specifications are:
Height including feet: 81 mm
Height without feet: 70 mm
Width: 225 mm
Depth excluding binding posts: 267 mm
Depth including binding posts: 312 mm (approx)
Weight: >5Kg each
The cases would be supplied with the light pipe and nylon stand-offs fitted and with machine screws needed for the feet and base.
Dan has put a parts list together and has quite a lot of extra parts due to having had to order more than required which should save a lot of hassle.
The price is £1,300 with a minimum run of 5 pairs. This would reduce to £1,250 if 10 pairs are ordered for a single run. This price is collected from Stoke-on-Trent. Delivery would be charged at cost price. A 50% deposit will be required due to the cost of materials and time commitment.

Any marks you can see are finger print residue I missed.

If 10 pairs or more are made in one run then £1,250 for a pair plus postage (if not collected).
Haha! No, you didn't read right!
He said that the adonising company were also working on casing for Naim's £125,000 Statement amp..
Sadly the miss-reading didn't get pulled up on so I hope it didn't put people off.
Ad Did you ever get enough interest to make the minimum 10 pairs?
Sorry, 5 pairs.. just re-read it.

Yes I did. I do have a pair on the self ready for colour of the customers choice if anyone is wanting a pair? Need shifting tbh so could possibly do a discount.
