Any one know of a good place in the Charlotte area that can do sheet metal fabrication on the cheap. I need a one off 5 sided box with 1/2" lip on the top. Made out of 16ga 6061 Al, maybe a little thicker.

How cheap? and what are the dimensions. I can brake 16ga. alum up to 40" wide in my brake. Slightly thicker the narrower you get. If I can't brake it, it's gonna cost more cause I'll have to do more welding.
 
see image. I can provide full drawings for it. Do you have a water jet or similar?

Nope no waterjet. Just a plasma cutter, shear, and a brake. What is the box used for? How precise do you need it? is the way it's constructed critical. In your drawing you show the corners being wrapped. I typically would brake the edges to meet and weld the outside of the joint. Does it need to be air/water tight? All of these things will effect the cost and whether I'll be the guy to do it.
 
Not critical on any of them. Not water right nor air tight. It will be a Xbox laptop case. 0.01 is preferred as it will have a lid. And a fold down screen. All of which I need fabricated
