Building a DAC chassis out of 3/4" solid mahogany used for base and 4 sides. Top wil be 3/16 perforated aluminum. Dimensions are 12"x16"x5". Sides will be connected together using mitered edges. Aluminum top will be screwed down into top of sides.
Do I need anything other than glue (wood screws, etc.) to glue the 4 sides together, or the sides to the mahogany base?

Glue is all you need, especially with a porous, non-oily wood like mahogany.
As always, I recommend you put a coat of shellac on the outside of the miters to protect from squeeze-out. Then sand it off. Of course, amber shaellac you get at the Home Cemter makes a great finish for mahogany.
Who needs spell-check; I can still spell Martini. Mmmmm.
