When I first started selling complete controllers with case fans and power
supplies installed, I found that the case was the show stoppper. Like you
said most of them were in the $120 range and using a PC case did not lend
themselves for a nice looking product. Then I found Sescom. You can get a
catalog from them by calling 800-634-3457 I use their MC series cabinets.
What is really nice about them is that it is all flat panels that can be
easily machined and then you assemble it with extruded rails to lock it
together. Then I decided to have the back panels silk screened for the
connectors. Last, I do all the machining of the cases. The price for the
bare case is ~$44.

Dan,
Is the case you are using an off the shelf unit or do you make it? I hunted
all over and the only enclosure I could find that was at least that big was
designed to mount in a 19" rack unit and cost around $120. I ended up
making
my own case out of masonite with a particle board base.

On my 5 amp controller I place everything in a 12X10X6 case . The fan was
mounted on the outside of the case and the transformers are located
inside
the case. The transformers are on one side of the case and the drivers
are
on the other. No problems with noise.

Just curious, I'm in the process of constructing on of Dan's 5A stepper
drivers and was wondering if it's ok to put the transformer/power supply
components in the same enclosure. I'm new to all of this stuff and was
wondering if the AC current in the enclosure would end up creating a lot
of noise that would affect the stepper driver operation.
Thanks,
Al
