Aluminum cabinets...
I don't want to make any of the others angry at me for posting this. But if there is an interest in aluminum cabinets....well I have a few vendors caught in a price war. The size of the cabinets are to be as follows.......
Front/back panels 16" X 8" X .187"
Top / bottom panels 16" X 12" X .187"
End panels 8" X 12" X .250"
This will give adequate space for a 1.5 Watt RGB and all the components needed to be installed inside. Careful planning is a must. The estimated cost of the 6061 T-6 is around 1197.00 the estimated costs of having the pieces cut on the CNC laser is 384.00. This will provide ILDA connector port, Aperture opening, machine screw holes in side and front panels,A/C power input socket,and fan openings. Air inlets to be determined as this comes to life....if it does. This price reflects a purchase of a 4'X8' sheet of 3/16" and 4'X4' sheet of 1/4". This will yield 12 cabinets at a cost of 131.75 each cabinet. This is not including shipping and drill/tapping of the holes for the machine screws...suggested #6/32 socket head capscrew. This is just an estimate....I will have a better nailing of the prices and shipping if enough interest is shown. This should still be well under 175 per case to your door in the states. Well that is how it is looking from here. I can get one unit like this already to assemble, anodized for less than this. But the aperture hole and fan holes must be cut...Lets just start here and see what happens. I can also get enough .4375" plates made up for the beam table. Simply use a length of angle alu to affix to the interior of the side panels at the desired elevation.
You are the only one that can make your dreams come true....and the only one that can stop them...A.M. Dietrich
