Older JOEMEEK style mini rack enclosure

I generally don't need compressor circuits as a pedal, and I thought it might be nice to do a couple of different compressor circuits in one small enclosure, especially something that would fit with my other "mini" sized recording gear.
I use one of these, the Joemeek VC3Q and am hoping to find an enclosure of like dimensions so I can stack:

For outboard gear I have used Hammond, Teko, Serpac, and Pactec enclosures, but none of them seem to have a close match for this. I have not measured but I think this is 1/3 of a rack space? [EDIT: It's a half rack]

Anyone know a comparable part or do a 1/2 rack project where you found an enclosure that worked well? Any rackmount-oriented resources would be recommended as I really haven't explored rack stuff much at all. Most of my non pedal projects are in "desktop" sloping enclosures.

(This Joemeek circuit is no longer made, I got mine cheap on ebay before my DIYing days. Having gotten into DIY, I've been surprised that this compressor circuit has not surfaced anywhere as a homebrew project - at least that I've seen)

thanks for any recommendations!
