Here is another challenging question (or info request) !

In the past I have built a couple or so of electronic projects only to 
find out that when I was ready to put a box around it and put the final
screws on it, I could not really find that proper box anywhere. They were 
either too short, too wide or too bulky. I checked a couple of catalogs
but to my amazement nothing exciting was to be found. Well I though as a last
resort I can always drop by the hardware store pick up a couple of square
yards of aluminum and machine my own box. More surprises there. No hardware
store (at least in my area, Houston) carries any such aluminum panels that 
can be used to make boxes for electronic projects.

Can somobody more experienced indicate the source of materials or may be 
a source of enclosures. I am not interested in enclosures that cost more than 
the project that is inside ( that was one of the reasons I thought of 
building my own boxes) 

Again, thanks a lot for all the info.
