My wife and her (cases)

[sirloinofbeef001]

My wife came home the other day from work and heard me complaining about needing cases for my LE's.. So she went to the store and bought me some cases from somewhere and asked me to try them out. I told her they had to be waterproof and she said these are.So up to my jacuzzi I went and put one in the tub and filled it up with water ( the tub, not the case )and it is totally waterproof. So take a look at this...

If I may ask what type of containers are those and where did she buy them from. They look kinda neat especially if you add a couple of extra RGB LEDs to make them glow at night.

I'm not sure where she got them at. They will work though for me. Easy enough to mount and easy enough to open. I like your idea of the leds in the box for a little extra sparkle..I'll see where they vane from and post it when she gets home from work..

ask her if she can find one 12inches by 12inches by 12 inches    : )

Its from target.. Its made by oxo softworks. The product is tough and durable so no need to worry about that aspect of it. Anyway, target for 11.95.

[pugs1501]

How many cups is your containers that fit the expresses in them.

LOL! Off to target.

Hey chrisatpsu, I checked their site and that's the biggest they had.

For that price I would stick with the CG-1500.

More appropriate enclosure, which is machined already for the output and input cording.

Machining those cases (drilling holes) might be a nightmare since traditional very transparent plastics are challenging to cut and drill without shattering.

The CG-1500 is a $20 value.  They are well worth the $10-$13 plus shipping.  I have tried to save money on cases in the past only to be severely frustrated with my decision.  After having used them for a year the only case that I think is better is the cases used by LOR for the CTB16PC but they cost $24 and don't work for LE's.

The true value in all this is having a supporting wife!  Now that is priceless!

Can I get a big  to that.

My goodness, what have I started here.. Its just an idea, an alternative to the way everyone else does things. I like the idea of seeing whats inside the box..If it fails then I will pay to fix the problem.. Its just all fun..

I like the idea of seeing whats inside the box..

I also like the fact that you can see the LE in action, we put a lot of work on making one and it would be nice to show it off insted of hiding it in a gray box. The main concern is how easy is it going to be to drill the holes need to run the wiring. Keep us posted Please I may want to try them if they can be drilled without cracking. After all this is DIY and your not going to get more DIY than that unless you can mold Plexiglas yourself.

I would try a stepped drill, that is what I used when I made my radio sign (plexiglas), and I didn't have any problems with cracking, just go easy on the pressure when drilling.
