black anodized aluminum

[epion2985]

Does anyone know where you can buy black anodized aluminum (brushed aluminum finish) in sheets? Like the one Lian-Li cases are made of.

Any place that would also bend it for you to your specs?

Trying to make a case with a simmilar look.

You would probably have to get it custom made, which will cost you a fortune.

Google one of the Yellow Page 'sites, then type in your Zip Code and the words "anodizing" or "plating".

The bending part is up to you.

you should probably just buy the lian li case and use its side panels.

Anodization occurs AFTER fabrication, not before.

If you do a decent production run, it won't cost you too much.

[epion2985]

thanks. I used to work in a machine shop, I should give them a call and ask if they can hook me up.

thanks amd4me, waiting on the answer.

No I cant buy a lian li case, to small. This is for a chiller in the making and its fairly large.

By the way, anyone know of an online store where lian li case parts are sold, would be nice if I could pick up a few doors of the larger caes, that might work out.

just to let you know getting something anodized costs a TON of money.

Thats subjective. Some people think spending $2500 building a chiller is alot, but for what it is I think it cheap :)
