Was it cheaper/better on Amazon? How is the size?

Dennis,
Thanks for reminding us of Front Panel Express. ?

I had seen their ads but ignored them as too costly for my budget. ?Now I see that price depends on many variables, but what's really cool is their layout software's quick price check. ?

I'm on my second attempt to drill, nibble, and file a front panel for an HFSigs BitX enclosure and will finish it if only because I've sunk so much - contented, actually- time into it. ?Maybe I'll give Front Panel Express a try for the next box. ?
Happy tinkering to you. ?
Regards,
Craig

This is the same box but offered, through Amazon, by Uxcell. ?The price on Amazon was $18.99 with free shipping (got it in 2 days) as I am a PRIME member. ?BangGood lists it at $19.90 with free shipping and 7-12 day delivery. ?So, I saved $0.91 and got it quicker.

I have this very nice looking box. Although a bit larger then I planned, it does have room for a 5-9ah agm battery. The blue panels are all electrically isolated from each other. The white edges are plastic, so if you want rf shielding, you'll need to strap them together somehow. I did not make this mod on the case.

There is also a smaller version of that box. ?I've painted mine a hammertone black and will show pix as soon as the paint dries.
