I think Mister Ply & Wood has it, most timber suppliers will have it, Bunnings stocks it as well I think - your best bet is to shop around for the best price...and draw up some plans so you don't buy too much or too little...
Not sure what size the precut sheets are but design you enclosure to make the best use of one or else it will become a little pricey...

Therefor you can make yourself a nice enclosure which is 1200 x 595 x 595 out of 1 sheet. That one sheet will cost anywhere from $50-100 depending on the colour and what they have in stock.
Cheers,
Josh

You you make it out of plywood and give it a good stain and varnish then you won't need to as the varnish will seal the joins for you.
