Hey OM:

Microwave ovens are built for a price, the cheaper the better. The
chinesse have alot of crap out there. Even the fans are junk. I mean
who uses a shaded pole syncro motor for a fan these days, power hungry
junk. Best you could get out of a microwave oven is the metal cabinet
can be cut up with scissors, that's right, dollar store scissors, will
cut the sheet metal they use on microwave ovens. And with a good brake
you can make a lot of project boxes.

Well stainless steel project boxes would look sweet.
