Hi guys,

I've been working on a network installation on my folks house for some time now (in my spair time - they're out in the country). Well, I've got just about everything done, all I need now is to construct a cabinet to house the patch bay etc and I've been trying to find some of that steel they use for rack-mounted equipment, and I can't for the life of me find any. Middy's doesn't have any, none of the Aussie hardware stores have any, so I'm kinda at a loss as to where to source some from.

I dont' really want to buy an enclosure b/c I'm building it into a cupboard to make it really minimalist / clean install fo the home office. Ideas anyone?

I would look for some 1/8 inch aluminum. Easy to drill, sturdy, and half the weight.
