OK, don't twist my arm to hard.
So I made 2 of these enclosures for my 2 Ren24SS last year.
Pictures 1-3
It all started with I didn't want to spend the money on demarcation enclosures, and I said "I can build something better". So I saw this thread:

I got all the holes cut out and plugged all the outlets in and started to slide the board in, but it was about 1/4" too small to fit the controller board inside with plugs on both sides. (I had 6 outlets on both sides for mine). (insert sad trombone sound - Wah wah waaaaahhhhh)
So instead, I took these bins and mounted the boards with cheap walmart electrical plugs (less than a $1 a piece) connected to my outputs.
I was like great, I can connect my lights directly to these plug channels and save on extension cords...... NOT!
The cords aren't long enough to reach where they plug into the outlets so I had to use extension cords anyways.
Oh well it worked pretty good for controller boards, but why waste the time and money because demarcation enclosures are perfect. They are what I am using for all my controller boards this year, except maybe the SS hubs and power supplies. I guess I have a use for those old modified storage bin enclosures after all.
