Is that DIN rail on the sides? It looks kind of like it but I remembered DIN rail being wider than that. Looks great.

Thanks guys, it's been slow at work so I grabbed the bosses inbox from his desk , thats where the expanded stuff came from. You can get them from Staples. I made the rest from some welding rod with the flux removed and some DIN rail.

Looks great!

I was going to post up that I bought a 5 piece wire mesh desktop set from Wal-Mart for $10. (fastz14 tipped me off to the set)

Has TONS of scale expanded metal - can't beat the price either!

I thought I recognized those 15mm DIM rails, heck I threw out 6 feet worth the other week at work. Now Im wishing Id snagged at least a foot worth, sigh. They look very scale, props.

Dang, that looks really clean. I love how it's made of such simple stuff too, I think I may need make one for myself. Nice job.
