Subject: Re: 5U "Tight Grid" panels

I'll do all of them black except mine, don't worry about that! :)

I was thinking all holes should be .25", which works for toggle switches and cheap LED bezels. With thinner metal it would be super duper easy to make the holes bigger w/ a uni-bit.

I was thinking thickness same as MU, or .0625". Half as thick, half the weight, but the bend gives it strength.

I guess if there's enough interest I could do 1U 16 and 18 hole, 2U 32 and 36 hole.
