Small project box...

[gdv]

Looking for a small box...  Guessing about the size of two cassette cases stacked...  Can be a little bigger, can be a little smaller (but not much)...

Looked at Parts Express & MCM & those are possibilities...  Any other thoughts?  Probably better plastic vs. metal as I will be mounting a tiny amp in it...  Need something economical as I plan to make 6 of these...  Making some presents for some kids (& maybe adults).  I'll post pics when I am done...

Thanks in advance...
George

can't help you with plastic, but with metal, Hammond Manufacturing is probably exactly what you're looking for.  I was going to build a phono pre and put it in a hammond box, but I ended up getting a good deal on a high-end one instead.  Probably looking at 20-30 dollars a box, depending on size.  Maybe 50 for a big big one.

bearjew, is on the right track, but I am unable to spend $30 per box!   

Thanks,

George,

Check out the Joann Fabrics or Michaels for small "tin" boxes .  They usually have removable tops but sometimes I see them with hinges.  They even have small wooden boxes and even really thick cardboard ones.  You could probably stuff a tiny T-amp
or something like that inside....or a headphone amp for sure.  If it is a HP amp you could always go the "Altoids" tin route. 

I did see a bunch of closeout tags at RadioShack last week....but i seemed to be late. Most of the project boxes were already sold out. 

Last minute thought....what about two Altoids tins glued back to back with the middle cut out???
