    Nothing off-off-the-shelf will work.

      do you think about the extension of AL board

      Then you'll have everything you need to make another one later, (or practice making them until you like what you make).

      On this one, I used a lighter-gauge (0.7mm) Aluminium, so it was easier to work with, and I double-folded the edges for extra rigidity, and added wide flanges to the end caps to allow for double-plating around the chassis/cabinet mounting holes.
      I watched your photos, I found you mark the hole before you bend the al board.
      I have question. When you bend the al board, it will extend and will change the distance between the holes.Do you think about this problem. Is it effected on the chassis?Otherwise 0.7 mm AL borad is too thinner

        Don't know if this helps, but this company can do turnkey chassis, from metalwork up to powdercoating and silkscreening, and with deadly accuracy. Not cheap, but one of the best:
