I've been trying to find an aluminium box for more than two days now for the white fusion kit + full colour driver. I just can't seem to find the size I want, I've been looking tru digi-key without any luck. Maybe I just suck at finding things..
The size I want is L =125mm W=65mm H=40mm (4.92 x 2.55 x 1.57 inch)

I think this might be a long shot but if anyone happen to know a place who has this size or at least close to it please let me know!

I've found a box the exact same size as the one Jayrob uses, but it is just a tad too thin inside.

Edit: It can be no smaller than 115 x 60 x 30mm inside. (4.53 x 3.36 x 1.18 inch)

Thanks +1! I think I've found something! I have no experience with Maplin, do they ship internationally? Their help page gives me an error message.

You can try Farnell. They have pretty big selection of enclosures.

Thank you. But I can't find anything at a reasonable price I'm afraid.

Hi, I'm not sure if they do offer international shipping but I'll check now for you. If I wasn't so busy I would offer to buy it for you and ship it on

Edit, they do ship internationally to some countries, heres some info: http://info.maplin.co.uk/help/pages/4.htm

Sweden isn't on the list but it says to contact them, from what I can gather posting won't be cheap. It might be worth talking to some other UK members and see if they can ship one out to you

Sorry I couldn't be off more help

Some fabrication shops can fold you one custom from sheet metal, but it won't be cheap.

Try finding an existing item or device and gut it for the box.

Click to expand...

I contacted them, they said they have stopped doing international orders for whatever reason, so it's back to square one again...
