If you do some searching on harbor freight, you will find many hand brakes for under $80. They would do just fine for simple bends.
It looks like there's a shop right in your city: 1800 Fort Harrison Rd # 21, Terre Haute, IN 47804
EDIT: My bad, it seems that the only brakes online at harbor freight that can bend 1/8" aluminum cost over $200. I'm sure that if you guys use a strong grade of aluminum with frequent standoffs, you should be just fine.
Why do it the hard way if you don't have too? - ChrisH [more]
