Don't think that you want to box in your new micro/conv oven. Our new one generates a lot of heat--not as much as the Apollo, but still very warm. I finished ours by getting the plastic honeycomb ceiling panel for lights. I cut it about 2 1/2 inches wider on the top and bottom and an inch wider on the sides. I painted the whole area behind the new surround black so you couldn't see the open area around the oven. I glued in 1/2" wooden blocks painted black, three on the top and three on the bottom, with pre-drilled holes to put small screws in to hold the surround in place. I got silver plastic, but would go with plain and paint it whatever color you wanted.
