We're currently building a house, and yesterday we received a quote from the electrician for a data enclosure that was $1500 incl GST.

Now that seems a little bit extreme to me, so in the interest of saving money I'm thinking about doing it myself.

I've been looking at the Dynamix 42" Enclosure, along with 4x the slimline CAT6 patch panels designed for them (32 ports total), and an 8-port telco module. I can get all this for about $400 incl. GST from computerstore.co.nz which is obviously quite a bit cheaper.

So I was wondering if anyone has experience with these patch panels? Do they work well, or would you recommend something else? If so, what, and where can I have a look at it? I'm willing to look at any option that will save me money. :-)

Thanks for any insights you can give.
