I use old PC metal cases. As soon a a PC is upgraded at work the old
case is thrown, along most of it's contents. I scrounge some of the
PSU's and switches and leave then in place.
Usually the cases are metal 16 gauge steel with a steel or ali frame
in side... all chop up nicely and work well with reamer, hacksaw and
all the standard PC case screws and stand offs to create the perfect
small RF shielded enclosures for free.
