  • ...makin' the big noise
  • General Manager
Parts Express is another good one - more geared at the audio DIY scene, but they still have specialty tools and equipment that could prove quite handy for case mods. They're also a great source for cheap wire (they've almost always got a factory buyout of something you can harvest from).
