    Oops, I just got their pricelist and the profiles+connectors for a modest case adds up to almost 120 Euro

    As I have found, the profiles are VERY cheap... the connectors are another story...

    Take a look at what I 'made' to connect my profiles:

    The little corners are available here for $1 for 4, the 8020 corners were 1 for $4... big difference!

    Took me about a minute a piece with the Dremel (rotary tool) and some custom drilling, tapping, and I was in business quick!

    Hope this helps;
