Unfortunately, that is a rack into which you can mount an instrument
case. I want the instrument case that you would mount into such an item.

Whoops, so it is. Sorry.

A google found this bunch http://www.rittal.co.uk

They sell instrument cases and subracks, both for 6U applications. A
real challenge finding PDF's for some of their products though.

Yeah, their web site is atrocious is it not? I found their sub racks but
I cannot find a 6U instrument case - did you?

Actually, that's not a bad price at all - a mere £88 compared to the
£300+ wanted by Vero and Rittal, AND you get all these useful project
building features too:

Two layer Front Panel design, with adjustable gap (0 to 20 mm)
Outer Front Panel 3 mm Powder Coated Aluminium
Supplied with 4 fitted and 4 loose Board/Chassis plate/Component fixing
cross bars
Top, Base and Side ventilation apertures
Includes 2 extruded aluminium handles and 4 self adhesive rubber feet
Supplied flat packed.

Good old RS, and many thanks for the tip.

Cheers

Ian
