Im on the look for a new euro case that I can carry about since I do tour/gig a bit. Something like the M6/MX series style and size.
I'd love to get a monorocket but theres nowhere in the UK that stocks them and the only place near the UK is schneiders and even for them its a 2-3 month wait for the case or even longer as I was told by them.
So, I was wondering if there is anything similar on the market that?
The Modular World cases are way lower quality than the monorocket cases, but also way cheaper, so kind of ok for the price, especially if you are just starting in eurorack
Sadly modular world no longer exists. Great cases though. Perhaps getting a custom ata style case and installing rails and power yourself? If not maybe Ross could design one for you? http://www.lamonddesign.co.uk/modular-cases/
Big City Music, although located in the USA, has a Monorocket Mission 9b that is 220V in stock. Its not exactly the model you're after, but its 3 rows of 90hp, and it has 2 PSUs in it for a total of 2.4 amps which should be more than ample for even the most power hungry modules you can fit into 270hp. Plus, its available now, so you have zero wait time which is damn near unheard of when buying a Monorocket case, Steve is always swamped with orders so you're lucky if you can just buy a case off the shelf.
Anyway, if you're interested, send Roger an email inquiring about it. He is super nice and has absolutely excellent customer service. Also, I'm sure he has no problems shipping overseas, especially for a case that is made for your side of the globe and not the side in which his store resides.
They are now making space case skiffs - you buy a suitcase of your choice and they'll build a skiff to drop in it. Prices seem reasonable too.
I believe they'll recommend a suitable case also.
I've suggested this before (always to a total lack of interest ), but you could get two Doepfer LC6's, hinge them together, move the rails in a bit, then add clasps and corner guards, tolex or whatever and you've pretty much got yourself an M6X. You'd have to deal with the power socket - either move the lower one to the side of the case or link them together to get a single power in. If I had to move my system around a lot, this is what I'd do.

Thanks for all the great replies people! will defiantly look into them.

I was looking at the deeper cases and was wondering if its possible to add rolling rails instead of the fixed holes one? whats the power supply like on the deeper cases as well? Good quality?

I'd love to buy over sea's but its the import tax and all that crap thats gonna hit me hard so I try to stay way from importing, but thanks for the suggestion though!

If you mean rails with sliding nuts, my advice is to steer clear. I realise they're good if you want to use Analogue Systems modules, but apart from that they're a huge pain the ass. But sure, you can install them if you want.

Even I have a M1064 I found it too heavy for my needs so...
I made a monorocketed diy case by myself. I had never worked with wood or tolex. It was "easy" but frustrating, around 15 hours of work along january.
Common plywood 10mm, erthenvar rails, tolex from tube town and hardware from swann flight.
It weights around 2 kg empty

Spectacular - looks like a good summer project for me this year.

Nope - it's two custom 148HP "skiffs" with a travelling frame!
Happy to talk to people about custom portable stuff, and I can also vouch for Ross' work - he makes very beautiful things
Quick off topic comment for ppl with my skiffs - I'm always looking out for "light weight and portable", and recently bumped into these on the Thomann site: http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_effect_pedal_bag.htm They're perfect for my (or other people's I guess) 104HP skiffs, and they also do a keyboard case which fits the 148HP "slab'o'synth" cases mentioned above (single one's, not two at a time!): http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_key_bag_492.htm
I got one for mine, and it's great to have pockets for patch cords, psu's, sandwiches and beer...
