One question for you - what were those hanger strips attached to that you saw in the homes being built?

If you check around, some manufacturers do make deeper cabinets. I have seen 16 inch cabinets and I believe even 20 inch.
The hanging strips are nothing more than 2x4 pieces cut to length to fit between the metal studs and placed at the height appropriate for the cabinets to be hung. They are either screwed in from the other side of the stud (i.e., into the end grain on either side) or from the lip of the metal stud into the edge of the 2x4.
