If your case is plastic ABS or PVC, epoxy won't do the job (it won't stick to the durned stuff). You can get a special cement for the purpose if you know what the stuff is, but it'll prolly just crack again. Forget fixing the cracks and try using a hunk of sheet metal inside the case as a backing for the cracked area. That way, the metal will distribute the load over a wider area and avoid a recurrence. Pop rivets are handy for attaching the sheet metal.
