I used an old desktop computer case to build my powersupply. Added extra fans. Works great and pleny of room.

We use the Xylotex 3-Axis Controller in our Box below.

You probably do not need a box as big as this, as we have allowed for other stuff in there, but it will give you an idea of size.
We use one fan at the back that draws power away from the heatsinks of the power supply but inlet holes are on the top lid so the airflow passes over the Xylotex Heatsinks first.



Outside Dimensions Width 280mm, Length 255mm, Height 83mm
Inside Dimensions Width 240mm, Length 250mm, Height 70mm & down to 60mm on sides.

Regards

Sean.

Make sure you don't mount the Xylotex vertically, as the heatsinks may fall off. Also, Xylotex recommends having the fan blowing on the heatsinks if you're running at 2A or more.
