requires
4 each 4-40 screws with plastic nuts
some 1/4" plastic tubing (left over from ice maker) for use as spacers since the bosses in box don't really lineup
cut them at 1/4" long need 4 each
3 each self taping #6 screws
1 each CG-500  demarkation enclosure
3 " 6 conductor ribbon cable
about a foot of scrap wire to connect the trigger board
2 ethernet pig tails from store

i believe i have room left for fm transmitter on door of enclosure 



and if your curious i moved the pic connector to the conductor board

i removed enough copper foil from back of board to allow drilling holes and connecting a 6 pin ribbon cable to the back side
i removed the pick connector from conductor board and connected the ribbon cable directly to conductor board
be careful on connecting picket make sure you mark conductor board at key pin

I would be tempted to put my wall wart inside as well and run an extension cord into the case.  But, that's just me.  I like the idea of keeping any wall warts away from weather exposure.
