I used to work somewhere that imported/distributed PDUs and a lot of them are basically just aluminium extrusion with modules/spacers that slide in and busbars/cables connecting the modules behind. If you’ve got access to a mitre saw it’s dead easy to dissemble and trim one to length. The height is more tricky...

Yep - the height has been the stumbling block on every discussion I've had so far.
Presumably the metal doesn't need to be some kind of folded sheet with a base panel though?
I wonder in that case what's stopping me getting somewhere like this to cut 6 panels to size and piecing them together? https://www.lasermaster.co.uk/
They might even do complex bits like the air vents on the sides.
Ugh. I blame Blackmagic and their ridiculously sized units.
CYOA
You got it, 19" rack - the Teranex devices come in 1/3rd increments and I have 2/3rds of one RU left.
Unfortunately though it's not exactly two thirds either in width or height as you have to account for the stupid proprietary shelf: https://www.proav.co.uk/blackmagic-design-teranex-mini-rack-shelf
So needs to be a mil or three lower than full height and 280mm wide.
I was thinking someone like Penn - actually tried Olson first but they just laughed and said not worth their time.
Ideally I'd like 3 x c13 slots and 1 UK plug on the rear (the plug might have to be ditched as will be a v. tight squeeze) with a master switch on the front along with a pair of charging USB slots. But frankly I'd take what I can get at this stage.
If I get paid by a (very late) client I might just splurge but if I can find anyone who can replicate the ATEM case for less than a few hundred that's my starting point.
