The 7/32" bottom can flex a bit in the middle, but should have no problem supporting the electronics, as well as heavier stuff near the edges.
If you can get some 1/4" and 3/4" plywood, I strongly suggest you build one similar to ours and see how you like it...you might be surprised how strong and light it is.

why dident you?
ill see what I can get....
im not very good with small objects and I tend to break things easily(which is why they call me gorrilla)
i was thinking about the dead axles when i made the decision to use 2x6's that way they could be supported better without putting to much stress on the wood
i think i could combine the two designs, like keep the 2x6's for the sides, but have the plwood for the ends and bottom, I like those steel L-brackets, they added lots of lateral stiffness
