I put a couple of wood boards in the bottom of the case just in case it got any water inside (it did not) and just let my power supply sit on top of them loose. There were two notches in the top edge of the bottom of the case that 1/2" pvc just happened to fit it and I had junk pieces laying around. I screwed the hub to one of the two pvc pieces, but not the second since the holes did not line up. The hub just sits on top of the pvc pieces. Never got water in it, but it is on my front porch under roof, although it did get wet from blowing rain a couple of times. This year I am going to try to fit in the ether dongle and a POE ethernet adapter to see if I can have nothing but power going in to the case and still talk to the etherdongle (and maybe a conductor) using my ethernet connections from inside the house. Also this year I will need two battery boxes in order to support a second hub as I expand my use of smart strings.
