What will you be using it for? You can get by with 1mm for anything decorative, but if it will be weight bearing you will probably want 1.5/2mm. If you are going to be using it for larger spans, like a side panel, I would probably want the 1.5/2mm just because 1mm will a little on the flimsy side.

on the drawings, it will be the solid black surrounds on each face. Each side has its own metal frame. it will be slightly load bearing, it wil be taking the weight of the 120mm radiator

ACRyan has 1mm and 2mm panels. I would be more inclined to use 2mm for the panels, especially the one supporting the rad. I've got some 0.05" alu which is like 1.25mm and I'm not sure I would use it for anything weight bearing, but it may work depending on the span.

I believe he is using a 150W PicoPSU. It uses an external power brick to supply that little pcb with 12V which it then converts it to the various voltages needed.

Fun stuff. I think your 3rd revision is much more interesting. Keeping the stuff inside the box makes it more of a challenge but a lot neater and more impressive.

Keep going

+ rep for the idea alone, never mind actually doing it. Good work. 2mm should be ok for your size. i have stuck with 3mm for all my mods.
