basically the cases are standard euro aluminum cases from Proma, http://www.reichelt.de carries them for 8.25EUR (part# "GEHÄUSE EG 2"). Tops are cut from perforated metal plate from the DIY store next corner. Front panels are cnc machined by http://www.schaeffer-ag.de (partner of http://www.frontpanelexpress.com ). They are 103 x 56 x 3mm in size, with that amount of breakouts, holes and engravings they cost around 20 to 25 EUR each plus shipping. Schaeffer has significant price breaks at 4, 10, ... pieces. Screws are A2 Torx from http://www.online-schrauben.de

edit
the link privided by BrokenEnglish refers to "GEHÄUSE EG 1" which has a height of 43mm, the "EG 2" is 56mm high. Both are Euro-size.

Default My voyage into DIY...

It started not long ago, Nov. 27th to be exact. It began as most journeys do with a Cmoy:

And quickly moved to Cmoy #2:

Next up were 5 MINTs:


And today, my first PIMETA:




Next up to bat is a MMM w/ built in STEPS.

Following in the footsteps of all the others who built Hello Kitty amps before me, I present my new Cmoy. I might never actually take this one out in public, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.



I like it because it looks like Hello Kitty is flipping me the bird.



The tin is a bit smaller than the round Altoids, and I couldn't fit a volume knob in it.
