API makes the 6-slot lunchbox with built-in PSU.
Brent Averill makes a 6-slot also, with external PSU.
Old School Audio makes an 8-slot LB with external PSU.

These all hold the same modules. Do a search, as there are many opinions here.

the averill 312 barely fit into a lunchbox frame shipped from api factory 2 months ago (the api connector just grasping the 312 card when fully screwed down) - it did work but there is a possibility of restricted current flow (imo if you want 312's buy an averill box). the purple biz fit snug/good. when is the next shipment of purple biz (waiting, waiting...)?

Aphex also made a 4 slot lunchbox that holds 500 size cards. Comes with a power supply but no phantom. API cards fit just fine. I believe they also made a larger rack as well. I now have two 512cs and two 550bs in mine. I use an outboard phantom power supply if I need one.
