So in trying to plan out how I was gonna build the mounting plates for my components while cooking the other night, I stumbled apon a great idea...... I've bought 1/4" polyethylene from TAP Plastics in the past but they charge alot for a 24"x24"x.250/1/4" sheet...... I just happend to be cutting on a piece of 1/4" polyethelene that I got from IKEA not to long ago.... http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20103728 and it hit me......... :hmm: This is PERFECT!!!!!!! Same thing I'd buy from TAP but 4X less cost for the same amount.

Once I get going on it I'll post pix.
