UK source for Power Supply case?

[killie99]

Got hold of a linear power supply and now I need to get a box for it. PSU measures 280 x 125 x 85. Box should either be black gloss finish of matt aluminium, and preferably a half width size so that I can have the PSU and SB3 on the same shelf - anyone know of any (fairly cheap, ie under £50) sources for a box?

Good grief what have you bought, a mobile power station!! I canna believe that it's that big.

In old measure that's 11 inches x 5 inches x 31/2 inches. Are you sure?

yep ...it is rather large. Got it for free so I'm not complaining. It's a Coutant HTD2 which has a 24V supply as well as a 5V but the transformer is huge and it weighs about 3.5kg

In which case I am not able to help. Sorry!

Good luck in finding a case.

have you tried the usual suspects ...maplin, rs, farnelll, rapid ?

you could just build a perspex box ?...I've built opaque black high gloss boxes in perspex that look ok ....just make certain you have perspex adhesive ....use off cuts, cut to square section and glued to the corners to ad considerable strength to the case.

Tried the usual suspects and the only boxes I can find are full width 19" rack cases which isn't what I want.
Where did you get the black perspex from?
