Where do folks in the states source your aluminum project boxes for controllers?

Electronics stores.

Are you in Oregon by chance? if you're anywhere near Portland, there is a super cool place called 'surplus electronics' out in Beaverton/Hillsboro. I'm pretty sure they had those around, for quite cheap.

The all-arounder: 8T MAC motor on a Trek 4500.
The girlfriend bike: 350W front MAC on a 700c Trek.
The wheelie machine: 20" Rear Magic Pie II on a Trek 4300 MTB
The Bus: ??? on a 'da bomb' cargo bike frame

Pro-tips for noobs: Avoid BMS Battery like the plague | Charge RC Lipos to 4.15v, stop discharging at 3.5-3.6v | Use torque plates/arms! | Rear mounted hubs are always best

Polycase.com , quality is good and price seem good. Not sure about their aluminum selection though.
