Brass as a power conditioner housing

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I was wondering what the concensus was on making a brass box for my power filter, which consists of a tranny (thats not a tranvestite) & filter caps to suck out the crap from the ac line.
I recall seeing on mythbusters they used brass mesh as a RF screen & was wondering if it would be a good idea to make the box out of brass sheet which is easy to work. Currently it is housed in steel.
I recall some discussion on copper having a diode effect, is this relevant?

thanks
