1. A method of assembling an outer cabinet of an enclosure, the method comprising:
coupling a first panel of the outer cabinet to a second panel of the outer cabinet utilizing a first joint type;
coupling a third panel of the outer cabinet to the first panel using a second joint type by rotating the third panel relative to the first panel so that a first outer flange of the first panel engages a first inner flange of the third panel and a second outer flange engages a second inner flange of the third panel, wherein a third outer flange coupled to the second outer flange extends at an angle towards the second inner flange when the third panel is coupled to the first panel;
coupling a fourth panel of the outer cabinet to the first panel using the second joint type by rotating the fourth panel relative to the first panel;
coupling a fifth panel of the outer cabinet to the first panel using a third joint type;
coupling the fifth panel to the third panel and to the fourth panel using a fourth joint type; and
coupling a sixth panel to each of the second, third, fourth, and fifth panels to form the outer cabinet.
