Thank you both for the links, both those vendors address my needs. If
someone knows a cheaper source of 4" or 6" high Eurocard size extruded
enclosures I'm still interested.

The Hammond 2" case is available through both Mouser and Digikey for
about the same price $20. Since I will be placing an order from Mouser
soon I'll order a 2" case from them. The 4" case from Rose I'll have to
think about it since they sell the raw stock by the meter with a minimum
order of $100. If they will anodize it for me at work, and I see no
problem there, I will buy the minimum order. I have several projects
that use full size Eurocard so the minimum order is not a big issue.
