Thought id point out that Travis Perkins sell the vents bungs but they are not listed as this, they sell them as soffit vents but they are exactly the same as vents bungs sold on ebay. I bought 2 the other week from them for one of my vivs and I think I paid about 50p each plus the vat but I'll have check the receipt.

Tell me now!
Sorry but the crystal ball has ran out of battery's lol The legs you used what section do I find them in B n Q so know where I'm looking.
I found out I can build a 4ft viv (1220x500x500mm) for ~£50 with materials from B&Q. B&Q very helpfully provide glass shelves which are 600x250x6mm or 'thin' versions slightly cheaper so as long as you make the gap in the middle for the glass 250mm you're set!
It works like this: 1x B&Q £17.48 MDF @ 2440x1220x18mm. 2 x B&Q glass standard shelf (£10.48) or 2x 'slim' glass shelf (£7.48). Glue + screws ~£10, Runners ~£5 from ebay. Vents - you can get these cheaply on ebay as well. You can even get the kind people at B&Q to cut it all for you, if you pay them whatever it is per cut - can post up the plans if you want but this is where I got the idea from : http://www.therainbowboa.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=90
p.s. just realised my calculations don't involve sealing the wood, but I have yacht varnish currently kicking around so I didn't need to factor that in - there are plenty of posts around all the forums about sealing MDF and they're not expensive methods.

memory is a little fuzzy but i think they are with the drawer runners and door handles etc
i will say that place is short staffed, took ages to find somebody that knew what i wanted.
