The good thing about copper is that it is easy to solder especially if you have a gas soldering iron, drills easy, is soft to bend and paints up well. Many years ago I had [as they do] the copper hot-water cylinder in the house fail, when I replaced the cylinder I kept the old one, removed the element, cut the top and bottom off, sliced the cylinder lengthways and still have what is left stored as a huge sheet of copper out in the garage. The tinned side is a light grey and great for drawing directly onto or affixing adhesive templates printed from the computer, the other side for doing coppery things like etching [as in the link you supplied] or in my case being a lazy arse, painting. I have made a number of enclosures [not eurorack but the principle is the same] out of this copper sheet for guitar effects-units I have designed based on the size of the Boss half-rack effects of the 80's.And if I was doing it myself, I'd personally consider etched copper.
