Will,
Rich is way ahead of you on the plywood :-)
I can almost see roll and pleated naugahyde covered amps now. Are naugas extinct yet?

Hal, and others,
There may be a way of using baffles with an internal enclosed fan.
Speaker cabinet construction uses some features where acoustic engineers
design a majority of them in industry. That would be a good person to
speak with if we could stir one up. Suppose a high output muffin fan
were placed in an acoustic deadened enclosure using available sound
deadening materials. There's some foam sheet available really cheap for
this at Parts Express (http://www.partsexpress.com/). Another thought
would be to make the amp chassis like large speaker and guitar amps and
or speaker enclosures using the leather look vinyl, etc. I have to say,
I have always wanted one built this way as they really look good
compared to plain painted aluminum, or steel chassis. This way, any ugly
enclosure could be made exceptionally good looking with exceptional
sound deadening. A 1/4" plywood carcus with the black vinyl cover, black
or chrome corner guards, black anodized face plate, white
