taunton-hobbit Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) B&Q sell aluminium cases quite cheap, I used a couple as projector carriers for years, and another as a toolkit box, so they'll take a fair amount of abuse............I note a Google search also brings up a firm called Cases-and-Enclosures.co.uk - who look worth a punt.....

KevB Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Used the Maplins tool case types for years, pretty robust if you don't overfill them and strain the latches. Often on half price sales at the right time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If you want to stretch your £££ look at small hand luggage sized suitcases or laptops cases in charity shops - probably get sorted for a couple of quid. Might not look as cool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I used a small Carlton suit case. It took about 20 years to fall apart. Very tough if you don't need a proper full-on flight case. I replaced it with a Maplin style case which is tough enough for local gigging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
