Looking for Perforated Metal shelves

Where can I find some perforated metal shelves for my HT equipment? I have seen some high end HT furniture mfg use them to aid in heat dissapation and would like to add some to my unit.
Also I want to replace the front glass on the doors (it is framed in wood, about 1/4" thick, held on by little plastic clips) with some metal mesh, anyone know where to get this as well?

I'd remove the front doors completely. Really helps with ventilation/circulation. Haven't seen HT shelving (or similar) with perf shelves.

Well I have been down this road before and I can tell you that something like this is not cheap.

I think I would try to space my shelves and components out as best I could and get some small fans from radio shack if you reall have a heat problem. Some components run hot and are fine.
