Updated the list to include retail links.. most of them just offer jiffy/zippy boxes.. but their are a few unusual ones every now and then
Sorry guys.. .list is finalized... I seem to have hit the post limit of 20000 characters..
Topic is now sticky.
Awesome list!
I seem to have hit the post limit of 20000 characters..
I don't think it's useful to include retail/distributor sources in this list (unless they have some own-brand items not available elsewhere) - maybe better to split this into a seperate list.
The big challenge is finding the right enclosure - from then you can look for their distributors etc.

No problem, I've split the two entries. A retail list is now a seperate Manufacturing & Assembly item. Its a bit of a work in process.
While the manufacturers have most of them, I have found quite often that the retailers have surplus / unusual or other items that they don't list. For example parts express have the Penn-Elcom extrusions that I quite like - the only easy source I know of.
This company manufactures metal enclosures, specializing in "custom modified" standard version, nice finish.
They will punch, silk screen or mill and route even at prototypes or small series quantity.
I've been a customer for more than 30 years.

One more, they are based in Turkey

great? thanks to share,by the way,PCB manufacturers/suppliers, Is there a middle man draining your profit. Get rid of them, it's information age. I started using the Internet to link the PCBWay own factory, removing the central parity.http://www.pcbway.com
As an electronic enthusiasts, I made a website: pcb.ui3g.com, The Printed Circuit Industries Service, Product and Resource Guide, hope to get your factory sponsorship,
http://www.par-metal.com - rack mount and audio amplifier enclosures in aluminum. Shipped as a knock-down kit.
Tip: you can send the front panels to Front Panel Express, they will machine and engrave it for you.
https://www.modushop.biz/ - among other things, reasonably nice rack-mountable cases
*** EDIT *** I didn't notice Modushop were in the list already - but only in the "custom / engraving" section, for some reason(?) *** END OF EDIT ***
http://www.altinkaya.eu/17-19-rack-enclosures - in my searches for an even cheaper "blank" 2U 19" rack case, i came across this Turkish company. Dirt cheap - and i mean DIRT CHEAP small-size die-cast enclosures as well (think guitar pedals and whatnot)
That being said, how feasible would it be to perhaps also classify the list in the first post, by geographical location (as well)? Or at least indicate where each are based?
I think everyone will agree, even if you find some good-looking affordable items, often the shipping and/or customs can really be quite the buzz-kill, to say the least
Anyone know of a source for boxes/enclosures with cutouts for standard sized LCD displays? It always seems a bit of a pain to have to cut a slightly ugly opening, then cover it with a bezel (which is what I've been doing).
Doug
Please, add my company on your list for
Custom Panels: panels.mwf-services.com
Enclosure: box.mwf-services.com
The tools allow one to do a lot, but obviously, further customization levels are allowed if you contact us. They can even be integrated into these tools since you give us feedback.
Thanks
Great
