Nice. Where do I get one? <kidding> I imagine they must be expensive. Seriously, where does one get access to a laser cutter at reasonable cost?

You can pick up a Co2 laser engraving cutting table 5'x4' for $15k price to fit an amp chassis probably $10k new. Laser and CNC machines have come down considerably in the last 5 years.

After Brian from Dirty Dawg had surgery and couldn't make chassis' for a little while, I was in a pinch, and had to get a chassis from a local machine shop. It was just $5 more than from Brian, so I couldn't complain too much. Then they told me it'd only be $10.00 more for all the holes! I bet anyone who lives in a major city has a shop like this, although support Brian if you still 'like' to drill your own.

Is that black anodizing? I have experience with black anodize changing to a purple hue after a year or two.
