    Hi peeps,

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Thanks for the suggestion swami,
    I've seen this stuff before, but i'm not sure how it's possible to achor sheet metal to it.
    This was why i was after corner extrusion, to do something like this...

    I was sort of looking for something like that a week or so ago.. Instead, I was thinking I might just get these machined up

    ... I'm in Germany and use mostly profiles from Isel or Item for mechanics or cases -- here the link to them in GB:
    Isel - http://www.isel-uk.com/contact.php
    Item - http://www.item24.co.uk/

    The PP-profiles from Isel could be interesting for cases too: http://www.isel-germany.de/products/...?lang=en&ID=p0

    Hi Viktor,
    Many thanks, that's exactly what i'm looking for.
    Unfortunately, i'm still waiting for a reply to my 3 emails.
    If they do respond, i'll put the prices in this thread.
    There is another company that sell something very similar, they're based in the U.S. Again, i'm just waiting for a reply

    I'm a fan of the extrusions made by the MK technology group. They have distribution in the UK: www.mkprofiles.co.uk

    I used their extrusions recently to make a couple of satellite projectors:

    Aluminum Extrusions (er, I guess aluminium depending on which side of the pond you reside) make case design a snap.
