Galaxy 1GX247N Black

Being designed the way that it is, the Galaxy chassis much better to work with than previous chassis that I have had in the past. My customer is very pleased with the result.

This is a “4” rating only because a panel thinner than 10mm isn’t offered. An option like 5mm would make DIY for us without a machine shop a lot easier. The cabinet is excellent otherwise. Photo of preamp/headphone amp project (work in progress) mounted on the bottom of the enclosure

I built a Raspberry Pi-based streaming player into this chassis. It includes a 3.5" touch display and rotary encoder on the front panel, as well as a Khadas Tone 1 DAC and a 5 volt linear supply. I asked for front panel CNC customization - I sent Modushop a drawing and they turned it around really fast - in a couple of days. Great work as always!

I needed a taller chassis due to mods associated with the NuTube B1 kit board. This did the trick..the kit chassis top & bottom plate were used because there were no slots. Worked great.

As you can see everything fit. The power regulator board and two tube based phono preamps. It looks really nice and works well. The raw DC power supply is remote for noise reasons. I use the Galaxy steal chassis for most of my projects. I'm currently working on the main preamp which will also fit nicely into the same chassis.

Absolute bargain and incredible value to dollar ratio!

The Galaxy (steel with 3mm faceplate) is a solid unit. I would order it again for certain. A couple of things to note: 1. The stick-on feet do not match the quality of the chassis. I opted for some other feet that raise it higher and will not fall off; 2. Even the 3mm aluminum faceplate/back plate can be difficult to cut/drill precisely if you only have a hand drill and a Dremel. If use are using such tools, get the 3mm version, not the thicker one. My advice: get some thick aluminum sheet to practice on before working on your faceplate or backing plate. Also -- the size of the faceplate and backing plate are slightly different. Label them so you don't make a mistake with drilling!

The case is beautiful, well designed and flawless!

Case arrived on time well packaged. Assembly was straight forward and easy. Finish was top notch. All in all definitely would buy again.

This was a perfect chassis, long and narrow, for how I implemented the Whammy headphone amp.

Everything fit up very nicely and secure. Finishes on the steel and aluminum panels was top notch. All the hardware was included, along with a few extra screws and nuts. Shipping was quicker than expected and very reasonable. Good stuff!

I was really happy with the service and product quality, except as noted below. Shipping was very fast considering that it came from Italy to Colorado. I appreciate the attention to detail paid to the packaging--it's highly unlikely that scratches or dents would occur even with rough handling. Overall product quality from machining to finish was excellent. The only complaint I have is in the method used to attach the upper and lower covers. It uses a hex nut sliding into a channel, which is requires a few tries and some patience to get it just right. Also, because of this design, neither the upper nor lower panels can be removed without removing either the front or back panel. But even with these drawbacks I'm still happy and will continue to look to them for future projects. (And in reading the other reviews it appears that they may have fixed the issue.)

The quality of the HiFi2000 chassis is very high and I wholeheartedly endorse their use in any project where they will work! Shipping from Italy is very fast, usually just a few days to the US.

Bought a 3-pack of the 230X170 size. Nice savings. Arrived in Arizona from Italy in just a few days. Amazingly quick delivery. Well packaged with no damage. Excellent fit and finish. They are now supplying cover slot nuts that are a bit thicker but a bit of tape to add to that thickness is still useful if you don't want the nuts sliding around in the slots when the covers are off.

I have bought several chassis from these guys. What amazed me right out of the gate is everything was properly deburred. Everything was square, flat and without blemishes. Now when you go to drill your own holes in it you will discover that the aluminum is some recycled gummy crap. But if you are careful and use sharp tools you can produce nice looking cuts. If this was American made it would cost 3-5x what this does. Its actually a very good deal for the price. Leaps and bounds ahead of 20 years ago. If the plates are too thin go to home depot and buy some 1 x 1 x .09" aluminum angle and rivet or screw a few pieces on the inside of the panels it will fix you right up. These things have all the holes in the right spots, good workmanship, a decent anodized finish and its cheap. other than the crap they make it out of its a top notch product. And the crappy aluminum is plenty strong enough to sit there and be a box. Just be careful drilling it. Its like drilling bubble gum and if you attempt to deburr it with a rout-a-burr be damn careful as it will grab and take a much bigger cut then you want. Use a dull as hell deburring bit or better yet a file or sand paper.

I bought two of these for a phono preamp with separate power supply. The chassis are very nice and look very good and fit together well.

The only problem is that the screws that are supplied to tighten down the top and bottom covers are too small to consistently grab the bolt that slides in the sides. I had to scrape off the paint in the holes and I still couldn't get many of them to catch. Some catch a little and then strip. It would be such a simple thing to ship bolts that are a couple millimeters longer, but as things stand now working with the steel covers is a pain.

Also, the stick on rubber feet are very tiny for such an otherwise nice case.

Perfect. Will buy again!

Nice and solid case. Unfortunately, the option Regular feet (included) means no feet at all. Also it comes with a bunch of screws that are difficult to place since it doesn't have instructions on how to build the case. After building in has a solid look and really stylish

Very nice looking box, shipping was fast and accurate.
One thing, I noticed supplied screw were little short to engage full threads.

Quality chassis for reasonable money. Super fast delivery from Italy. Happy customer.

Nice product, good price and fast delivery.

Very nicely done.

This chassis is well designed and well made, reasonably priced, and promptly delivered. What more could anyone want!

I used this for a power supply and it worked out perfectly.

You spend a lot of time building your projects, it's a no brainer to put them in something that looks good after all your efforts. With a little care it's surprisingly easy to drill and machine the panels to suit your needs without getting them all scratched up. Masking tape bot sides is enough to keep your panels safe.

Great little case to match the ones supplied with the full ACA kit. I ordered the no holes on front cover option, which took a little thinking about since the included instructions are for a drilled cover only but it went together very well once I'd worked which screws to use in the blind holes on the front. Super fast FEDEX delivery from Italy to New Zealand. I'll be ordering more for Phono amp and power supplies before long.

The case is solid, well made and goes together well. The method of attaching the top and bottom panels is unsatisfactory. You are required to attach the screw and nut to the panel loose, then slide the panel on with the nuts in the slots, then tighten fully. The included hex nuts are too loose in the slot. If you remove the screws to remove the top cover, you can't get the screws back in, because they are too short and the hex nut is very loose in the slot. It can be modified for low additional cost with four square M3 nuts and four M3x8mm machine screws, which helps. That way you can remove the top panel and reattach without needing to remove the back panel. The square nuts fit better in the top slot, still loose, but better, and the extra 3mm length in the screws can reach.
