aprox 17 3/4 in wide. prolly need at least 13 in deep, a little headroom for the usb connectors to stick out the end. and currently about 4 1/2 in height (this is the part i'm hoping to change!)
what is this mouser catalog you speak of?

took the kontrol one's to a metal shop today...
bad news. they said it would take them about 45 min a piece to get nice clean straight cuts (just cutting off the top portion of the bottom part). so 1 1/2 total, and they charge $100/hr. so it would be $150 just for them to cut the tops off...
needless to say, i didn't do it.
maybe i can find something in that mouser catalog, that would work for just one unit, and get two of them.
or a custom wood encloser would be pretty sick! these are not skills and trades i know though, so its gonna come down to price basically.
...
i just had a brilliant idea! make my own lego case for each one! haha, thought it might fall apart in my bag.

Man that is expensive. ive been looking at doing the same thing. I work at a "machine shop" (industrial steel supplier with boilermakers) and i would say definately go aluminium. It'll make the difference in weight if your going for portability. Originally Posted by kilbot

Here i reckon could have 2 done in 20/25min tops...and @ ~ $40 labour and only a few more $'s for the small amount of material.
45min just to cut the top off sounds pretty steep. They may have over "quoted" so they didn't have to do the job. Just incase they stuffed it.
Keep searching though and posting on what you come with....
good luck

wow that really is alot of wasted space !
Personally i hate these overly thick devices they are sooooo not portable - very cool idea with the mod
Look forward to looking at your final product.

Wow that looks like a great mod!!!
I've been thinking about possibly picking up the Kontrol One (I really like the rotary switch which allows you to select individual decks a la VCI-100SE). I haven't seen much about them in these forums or on the web in regards to folks who have actually used them.
How do you guys like the overall feel of the controller? How are buttons, jog wheel, and current mapping they have set up for Traktor Pro?
I'm really on the fence right now and don't know if I should pick up a VCI-100SE, A&H Xone 1D, or one of these Kontrol Ones?
Thanks in advance!

the dj-tech kontrol one feels pretty sturdy. all aluminum housing. i like the jog wheels, and they seem pretty responsive (depending on your latency of course)
i think i prefer normal knobs for effects, but the endless encoders work just as well. you just have to manually set their sensitivity in your dj software so that they respond as gradual or quick as you want.
all the buttons feel pretty stiff, with a nice click. good or bad depending on what you like.
here's a couple little videos i just made about them:
