    I'm also looking at some 2mm stainless cutting in a similar size. Let me know how it goes with you as I'm shopping for potentially a better price than the one I have already.

    £20 + shipping for essentially GPU backplate sized. Not sure if that's inc or ex VAT though.

    I can recommend @M_D_K's metal cutting services. He cut a couple of sets of alu panels for David and I for the DIY BIG560 cases we got from a guy on SFFN.
