Where is the best place to buy the really small mesh? I have seen it used in a lot of projects but I do not like the look or modders mesh at all. Thanks
Look at car modding sites - they usually have plenty of the stuff. I have some UK links but not in the US unfortunately; try googling for 'car body kits' or something.
i found mine in the form of a waste basket at my local target. (US we sell ****loads of stuff store) i like the look of it like really small expanded sheet metal.
good point meiv_4, here's another place... Check out Ikea, if there is one near by you. A wastepaper can from the DOKUMENT line is about 5 dollars US, and will get you a piece about 12" x 30" of either black or silver diamond mesh. You get to the can, but the price is right. It has a mesh about 3/32" and has a nice quality finish , maybe powder coat? There are lots of other desk accessories like paper trays, book-ends, etc that from the same material if you only need a small piece.
i got mine from www.mnpctech.com [EDIT]doh im sorry i didnt see you say you didnt like modders mesh. my bad[/EDIT]
Try here: http://www.mcmaster.com/asp/enter.asp?partnum=9232T131&pagenum=3433 I purchased some perforated metal, aluminum, to make a new fron panel for my case. I went with part number 9232T131, .187" holes on 1/4" centers. Looks quite nice. And for the $30 it cost, I've still got nearly half a sheet (even using a 20x20 peice to cap off a gas vent on my roof to keep birds out) Including shipping, it ran me $40. They also offer other metals and plastic I think for this, I thought about using brass, but didn't like the hole size / spacings. Jason A.
Look around. I pulled my mesh out of a microwave and I love it! I have seen the trashcans the above people are talking about and thats probably a good idea!
Hi guys i know this isnt exactly mesh but check this site out they sell alot of stuff for modding which'll save you time looking for it like braiding, perspex sheets and the rubber tubing to go around your windows which i have a hell of a time finding over here in england. www.kustompcs.co.uk try B&Q they sell lots of that stuff in sheets usually 1mx1m
