I'm building a fan shroud for either dual 120*120*38 or perhaps 52mm thick fans if I find a place that sells widebody fans. Acehardware sells both Aluminum and Steel sheet metal. The Al looks much cooler and is easier to work with, though its not as strong as steel.

Will Al be strong enough or should I go with steel?
