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.
