Ready-built units assembled by myself from the current board stock 
will be 450 ukp, plus shipping.

I bought a sheet metal folding tool recently which I found at a 
reasonable price, and have been experimenting with a folded aluminium 
sheet rear enclosure for the rack panel. It looks promising, but even 
though the required alu sheet is under 10 ukp, the relatively high 
price of the Schaeffer panel still makes for a more expensive final 
result than a machined Hammond case. Once I'm happy with the sheet 
dimensions and angles of folds, I'll post up some details.
Most people seem to want a desktop format, so I don't know that I'll 
be able to get rack enclosures made in quantity, but they will be a 
DIY option for kit builders.
