good luck, I work on the 10 times rule with electronics and enclosures. it will take you ten times longer than you expect it to.

Almost finished it today, drank some beer and lost some motivation.
Then the Pro Bowl came on. I could have finished it then I got stuck on how to do the front doors. Can't slide up cause the pitch of my roof , A-frame cabin.
I will get some hinges tomorrow an make split doors opening to each side.

Enclosure would not fit the door of my hobby room , .53 too wide.
Remove room door and went in. That was a close shave

Remember the 6 P's

Proper - Planning - Prevents - Piss - Poor - Performance

Built ventilation system for enclosure today. 6" flex pipe and 4"dry vent tubing with a 5" component fan 85 cfm seems to plenty of ventilation. Both pipe outside of the house , taking a cut and running wide open the enclosure only emits 18 decibels and a inside temp. Of 64 degrees . In the summer I'll hook the intake to the air conditioning vent.
