Default Where can I get metal mesh from?

I've just bought a case with windows on each side. Obviously the 'open' side of the inside of the case is fine because it will look onto the mobo, cards, fans etc, but the other side window just looks on to the ugly back of the tray which the motherboard is mounted to. So I figured I could put some black metal mesh between the back of the try and the side window - I'm hoping this will hide the nasty silver try but still let some of the blue led light through.

So, does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of some fine wire mesh? I'm not bothered whether it's black or not because I can always spray it. I really have no idea where to start, so any suggestions are gratefully received! I'm in Nottingham, by the way.

check out DIY stores and hobbie shops, they may be able to help

B & Q; Wickes; Homebase; local DIY stores...

If you can't find anything that's fine enough, check out electronics suppliers, such as RS; Farnell, CPC etc.
