Doesn't look like you left any room for an EX/RX module, but that may not be important for you.  Might be able to fit it if the board were mounted a little lower in the case.

I realized that on this board. The bigger box I'm getting for my mega tree will be able to hold upto 4 le's and the wireless. good catch..

Talk about DIY , GREAT JOB and look at the fun yall had PRICLESS, you also could use rubber grommets for the cords . I posted in here some where that shows them if you want to take a look but yours look good to me. THANKS FOR SHAREING

[/quote]with the gromets, I would have to come out of the bottom, I would rather come out the back and point it down, or does the gromet fit into the 3/4 pipe end?

Great job on the box. Even better that you have the family involved!!

Man that is really cool looking.  I like the style very much.  If nothing else, everyone should have one Express in a case like that for the one they show off to people.  Makes it look even more high tech.

Thank you for sharing your idea with us.

What type of drill bit did you use? I was going to use a 12X12X6 pvc junction box and make a clear front  but your boxes are cheaper 3 to 1 cheaper

I used a 1 1/8 hole saw bit. I place the lid on a 6x6 block and held it firmly and drilled in high speed with a slow approach. It was not a problem..

I bought a cheap step drill bit for prepping cases and they work very well for drilling plastic.  I'm sure they would work great for metal but you would want a good quality bit.  The less expensive one at the link below will work great for these types of holes.

I'm now in the middle constructing a box for 3 le's.. DIY is what its all about. And the beauty of it is, all transparent. I'll post it upon completion..stay tuned

[sirloinofbeef001]

here is a pic of my 4 gang le case. I havent totally finished it yet but its coming along nicely. I put  the rope light in the bottom just to see what it will look like all lit up. I have some colored transparent wrapping paper i might put on the acrylic to highlight it some..Not sure yet. I still have to put all the cables to it and give it the final once over but its ok for now.. Im gonna place it under my mega tree to hopefully highlight the box and le's..  

[trekster]

That is a big case!  It looks good in the first pic with the lights.

it looks like process control equipment in a plant...   lol

It actually is only 24x24. by the time I put the lighted bow on top and the colored paper on it, it'll look way better..(I hope)
