Members RoboPimp Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't care about the looks, I just need a big metal box. I saw a site somewhere where the guy used some metal beams or something like that. There's gotta be something at the hardware store I can use!

Didn't Dan-O use a metal sign and just bend it and shape it? You know, like a for sale sign or something that'd you get at the hardware store.

Members freeridstylee Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've seen some dude use an old computer box. He just cut it to a desireable shape, then rivited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LongJohnny Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 There is a guy that posts on Ampage I believe called kombo king that makes custom metal enclosures. Also you can get extrusions from several different places and make your own caps for them. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Marshall Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 try fiding square metal conduit. its usually used for running multiple types of cable like cat5 phone and electrical in the same pipe in commercial buidlings. 8 feed should be like $20 if you look arround. its about the size of a 2x4.
