Ata Case
How to make an ATA case?
Does anyone know how to make an ATA case for transporting speaker cabinets / amps / pedal boards? Or does anyone have any resources that would point me in the right directions as far as what is needed to make them, tools etc.
Here are links to the hardware for building an ATA case:

Here's a You Tube video describing how to make a custom flight case:
There are several other video links to similar cases there too.
Not knowing the size you're wanting makes it hard to give much details for building them. Generally you'll need ACX plywood 1/4-1/2 inch thick depending on the size of the box, hinges (aluminum or stainless), riveted aluminum or stainless reinforced channels at panel junctures, riveted aluminum or stainless reinforced corners, same for the latch work, ABS or melamine laminate on all sides, riveted recessed handles if the size permits, rigid or ploy foam interior infill to suit.

Change anything
overspec processor - a faster dual-core is better, go for 780 chipset - better overclocking, choose a 9600 gt, soundcard not necessary - for headphones or 2.1 the onboard chip is all that you need, the rest is ok.
