Build planning for 6x2x4 and 6x2x2

[redshepherd]

Out of curiosity I did a quick google search on birch plywood weight vs melamine, amd the melamine weighs about 3 times as much as the plywood. Melamine is a lot denser, though, so I see why that'd be an issue. Finding weights for PVC quickly seems more difficult but what I can find while just on mobile suggests PVC weighs about the same as the plywood. I could be wrong, though.

Still, weight is certainly something to take into consideration, so thank you for pointing that out!

From just googling, it seems building an enclosure, rack, cabinets, etc. with plywood has quite a few cons to it. Some people used it, but there is a reason why it's not popular. PVC overall is very reliable, very light (almost like foam), and won't crack or break under screws. Personally, I would go with the tried and true methods and materials, especially with an enclosure you want to make so complex, I would assume you want it to last awhile without risk of cracking or warping.
