1. A cabinet for containing air handling equipment comprising:
- a plurality of panels affixed to one another to form an enclosure, the plurality of panels comprising at least two side wall panels, at least one end wall panel, at least one bottom wall panel, and at least one top wall panel, wherein the plurality of panels are constructed to form an opening in the cabinet to allow air to flow therethrough;
wherein each of the plurality of panels comprises;
a first panel member having a first panel member first side, a first panel member second side, and a first perimeter side at a first perimeter; and
A second panel member having a second panel member first side, a second panel member second side, and a second perimeter, side at a second perimeter;
wherein the second perimeter is smaller than the first perimeter, thereby forming a first flange;
wherein the second panel member is affixed to the first panel member via an adhesive; and
at least two base rails, each having a rail flange with a bottom portion and an outside portion, a distal end, and a proximal end, wherein the outside portion of each rail flange extends between a first panel member first side of one of the side wall panels and the first perimeter side of the first panel of the bottom wall panel.

11. A cabinet for containing air handling equipment comprising:
-
a plurality of panels affixed to one another to form an enclosure and an opening in the cabinet to allow air to flow therethrough, the plurality of panels comprising at least two side wall panels, at least one end wall panel, at least one bottom wall panel, and at least one top wall panel; wherein each of the plurality of panels comprises; a first panel member having a first panel member first side, a first panel member second side, and a first perimeter side at a first perimeter; and a second panel member having a second panel member first side, a second panel member second side, and a second perimeter side at a second perimeter, wherein the second perimeter is smaller than the first perimeter, thereby forming a first flange; at least one base rail extending below the at least one bottom wall panel, the at least one base rail each having a rail flange, with a bottom portion and an outside portion, wherein the at least one bottom wall panel comprises a first portion of the first flange of the at least one bottom wall panel being in contact with each rail flange of the at least one base rail;
wherein at least one of the plurality of panels is affixed to the at least one base rail, wherein a portion of the first flange of the at least one of the at least two side walls panels is affixed to the outside portion of one of the rail flanges of the at least one base rail, wherein the outside portion of each rail flange of the at least one base rail extends between the first flange of one of the side wall panel and the first perimeter side of the first panel of the bottom wall panel; and
wherein the second panel member is affixed to the first panel member via an adhesive.
