Ok, but surely you mean 30mm thick, not 300? We'll probably go with
the thicker aluminium (if we can find it cheap enough, B&Q only had
0.5mm aluminium).
We've decided to buy a flat pack box from Ikea and cut the "solid
birch" up a little to give us the correct dimensions. One modified box
should hold 16U in width with two shelves of 5U.
This is gonna be more of a love hate relationship. Love the modules,
hate the Ikea cabinet.
