I am looking for an affordable 304ss NEMA 4x electrical enclosure about 21 or 20 x 32 (Standard size, rack mount. I want to avoid the big brand names and get a "second or third tier" box brand new or NOS. I hear automation direct has some mid-priced ones, I'm looking for something like that or cheaper.

I want to avoid the "big brands" because of high price. Who are the big brands? Saginaw? Please advise. Thanks!
 
Doesn't have to be rack mount, just needs to have a mounting plate in the back of the box for drilling for mounting components. Expect to pay around 300 bucks or less.
 
When I'm looking for a less expensive but quality enclosure, I look at Saginaw. Everything I've bought from them has been on par with Hoffman, Rittal, etc.
That size in stainless is showing over a kilobuck on Saginaw's site. Similar story on McMaster. If you can purchase through a supply house you may be able to get something cheaper.
If you find one for $300, please share your vendor.
 
Funny, in the description it says its made from 304ss.

Is that large oblong hole in the bottom (with the plexi cover) standard ?

Looks like an overstock of a custom box situation.

Is the backplane galvanized ?
