If you want new, par-metal. If you don't care, go to a electronics surplus place and look around for an old one.

Look at the

The black ones look great. Alum front steel sides

Where in NC????
 
The cheapest ones I've found are the Bud enclosures from Digi-key. You have to remember to include the lid when you order them (and price them). They're just a bit less, but they are not of the same quality or construction, though. I've used the Bud boxes for most of my DIY stuff since I was ordering from them for the Panasonic caps anyways.
 
The cheapest i've found were from partsexpress.com. They carry an all steel Middle Atlantic EC-2 chassis for 41.95. But, the par-metal ones seem to be the better quality.
 
keep your eyes open at pawn shops, i just pickerd up several unit for 50 or less (canadian) and they all have at least 4 xlr in/outs. if you figure just those xlrs are worth 5 buvks a pop, that takes 20 bucks right off the top of the 50 i paid, not to mention he multitude of other parts inside. Then it's just a matter of buying a blnk faceplate for 6-7 dollars and you're set.

Location should be a required field. I just like seeing where everyone is from anyway. It's interesting to see the mix of people on here. :thumb:

That´s true. It´s always the same question in every wtb-thread.

@ tony dB
