We've been using wood for our electronics enclosure for the past several years...it just seems to be the natural material. It's easy to screw the components to it, you don't have to worry about shorts, the extra weight isn't a problem since we put it down low, it's easy to work with plywood, etc. I guess there are good reasons to use something else, but I can't think of them....

Then again, we made our chassis out of steel again this year, so I may be totally out to lunch.
