I just wanted to ad that by profession I am a general contractor specializing in in remodeling, carpentry, and custom cabinetry/ built in work. There is no cost savings in building enclosures yourself. I am set up properly to build furniture quality enclosures and have the resources to procure materials at lower costs than most. I have found that properly constructed wood enclosures that will last, usually end up costing me more to build than it costs to purchase commercially available enclosures. When you add the time to design the enclosure, build the enclosure, finish the enclosure, and material costs (much less equipment costs if you do not have it) it is generally more cost efficient to purchase the commercially available products. The only exception I have found in the past to this is with regards to rack systems which can be easily and economically fabricated with basic tools and materials.
