I use extruded aluminum:

1.) Extruded hollow aluminum bar stock. I purchase it
in two dimensions: 

1" tall x 3" height with 1/16" thick walls 
2" tall X 5" height with 1/16" thick walls   

Most extruded aluminum stock is manufactured with 4
holes that run from end to end. These holes are ready
to be tapped for screws. Further, I purchase it in 6
foot and 8 foot sections. I cut it using a small band
saw and then polish it. The boxes look *really* good.
Also, I think the most I've paid is something around
$12.00 USD for an 8 foot section. This comes out to at
most a dollar a box when you add end plates and
screws. 

If you need it to be water proof or are going to use
it in a hostile environment, purchase engine gasket
sealent. High temperature works the best.
