Re: metal rackmount enclosure/case sources?

Rack mount ? government auctions.

Timing was bad as RCA, GE and a few others here had HUGE auctions
years ago. I got a 6 foot huge rack with huge 5 volt power supplies
for $30.00. IIRC, there were some 8 racks in there.......

Boeing here in Delaware has a surplus store where they sell off surplus.

IF you just want an enclsoure, contact your local home alarms
companies and see who has bunches for the taking.

I got 10 enclsoures for carting them away. some had boards that
yielded spare parts.

A way to make your own would be from old microwave cases. you can
just buy the front rack and then make you own back section.

Rack mount are probably the easiest of all styles to home brew.
