You could try doing what I did and make a chassis/box from 2mm Aluminium sheeting, I found that 2mm Aluminium sheeting is not very hard to cut with a jigsaw, although you do need some method of folding the sides and tabs up, like a panbrake metal-bending machine, if I could get a decent one I'd be doing more amp builds.
