if your PCB is not wider than 7cm then it can fit inside an aluminium rectangular beam I have.
The walls are 1.5mm thick, strong enough for stomping I hope?
But I don't think I have enough for many. if it works I'll try to get more.

The aluminium column I have can be used to make a box about the size as the taiwanese 125B-size in your link.
I need to get more, don't have enough to spare. And make a couple of em boxes. But how long are u guys willing to wait?

try not to use metal enclosures.... sometimes when you solder the components in you'll get a short circuit

we have been very patient with our switches, and we shall even be more patient with you. smile.gif the boxes can be simpler than those boxes in the link la. how much will it cost ? we shall discuss it sometime when u are free-er. shall we?

haha okies. yeah the box would be quite simple and workeable. those in the link are cast steel i think. thats why can make all those ribs and stuff.
Already have an idea how make it. Will try to make a prototype soon and see.

i dun mind.. i think it should fit my pedal..
anyway, as long as ur stuff is grounded and the back of the PCB is covered by some sort of plastic to prevent it from touching the metal its ok...

lol well, i dont 'make' PC casings yet, i only mod them.
the aluminium L or square columns find from those ppl who make aluminium stuff, and aluminium sheets get from metal wholesalers.
yes i got drill, jigsaw, dremel (2 of em, but one died already)...
