Step one: make a list of all required parts, track them down and order them for as little cost as possible.I decided to opt for a 19" rack panel rather than build a box for the controller. I already own a DBX compressor and it looks a bit lonely on my cheap wooden rack frame. After much looking around I found 6U rack blank available for a reasonable $23.99 (inc. delivery) at Sweetwater Sound via eBay. Sizewise this should work nicely.
A quick scout around Home Depot turned up a nice spray-can of "Spa Blue" paint. A close match to the colour of the famous PulTec units.
Potentiometers (10K rotary) came from eBay while Newark & SparkFun supplied all the necessary knobs in varying sizes and shapes. Not forgetting the Hale Microsystems controller plus ribbon cable kit.
Finally a trip to Fry's Electronics for wire, solder and sundries.
