Ive seen cube cases made with custom aluminum framing, and i love the look of it and want to replicate one (different size and all that thought) whats a good source for these connectors and tubing and ect, and what all do i need to use? just snap it in? i don't have the experience/tools to weld aluminum, so a pop into place setup would be ideal.

Thanks so much, Taintedplay

You can also google around for it. Google something about Extruded Aluminum Square Tubing or something like that.

Though if you can't find any of that (I can't see anywhere in the UK on google that does), you could get angle aluminium, cut it to the correct shape at each end and weld it. Or instead of welding, get short alu/steel strips and pop rivet it together.

Check out this worklog to see what xpc did with a bit of aluminum angle

Excellent, thanks for the link, thats kinda what I meant.

Should be trying something like this if I can't get it welded.
