This actually might be an interesting idea. Since there already exist a number of places that do SB2 mods, perhaps SlimDevices could produce or license someone to build SB2s into a more appealing chassis.
For example, a 1U rack size with either a black anodized or brushed aluminum face plate would be quite nice. I have to admit that although I really love my SB2, it definitely does not fit in with the rest of my gear. The display is excellent, but the enclosure I don't get to excited about. I already have plans to build my own enclosure once Fall sets in and my schedule lightens up a bit. Maybe this doesn't have to be taken to the extreme of using a tube output stage, but perhaps tweak the parts that can be more easily improved (better power supply, sturdier jacks, etc) since you now have much more room inside the (new) case to work with. Maybe even put a headphone jack on the front of the unit.(?) I read a couple of the DIY case mod threads and I have to say that the results generally were far easier on the eyes than my black rubber box.
