The top and bottom are 12 gauge aluminum finished in beige and attach to an internal aluminum extrusion that carries mounting slots for printed circuit boards or panels. The front and rear panels are 14 gauge natural aluminum, paper coated on one side, and are screwed to the extrusion, so they can be removed easily for access to components.
