[quote author="owel"]I'm thinking aluminum face panel, with wood panel siding for that retro-moog look.... and wrist pad towards the front. I'd like it having an angled slope.
Does par-metal custom cut aluminum sheet to size? I found another online store that will sell custom cut sheets to whatever size you prefer.[/quote]
oh man i love the wood side idea. : ) I went with a 19" rackmount, so a sloped look is out for me, at least in the 1st design. At some point I'd like to make a motorfader controller for Logic, and this would be in the angled slope style.
I had a custom design done from Par-metal for the enclosure, but the cost was twice as much as just getting what they stock and working with that.
What company did you find for the aluminum sheets? I've found a place that offers aircraft DiY parts which offers such stuff, here:

anyway, for what it's worth this is what I have so far with my top panel:

the little controller board in the pic is the Doepfer pocket electronics, which is not going to be part of the project now that I found the MIDIbox.org.
