Hey all
I'm looking to build a Rat clone and wondered if anyone knew of anywhere where I could purchase a suitably square shaped enclosure? My internet searches are drawing a blank.
I've thought about asking a metal fabricators to make me a replica of the ProCo Rat case but I've never done any CAD drawing before. Is it ridiculously complicated?
Cheers!
If you look at the Hammond 1590 series catalog there are a few square options (I just bought a couple myself). If you find one that works you can order it from mouser.
1590Q is a very nice one, square on ~ long dimension of the 1590bb and same height.

I agree! The 1590Q is a great enclosure. I just picked one up and I'm trying to figure out what to put in it. Another one that may work depending on the PCB size/layout is the 1590Y (3.62 x 3.62 x 1.5).
I ordered a Q by accident (wanted a 1790NS size.)
Trying to think of what the heck to do with it.
Cheers guys! I'll check them out.
You could always build a Rat Alan!
Blimey they are expensive in the UK. I can only find both the 1590Q and 1590Y on Amazon and eBay and they are £24 and £17 respectively.
