Aren't those way to expensive for what you get. Pelican thinks it's stuff is made of unubtanium.

Rob, have you talked C into letting you ship your other car here from Germany yet? I tried to work on her on the ride to the hospital but I don't think she bought it, LOL.

Oops, my apologies for the threadjack, Gary. I have a PC4 you can use for a while, if you need it, but I will ultimately need it later.

The enclosures I have are even waterproof vented - so nicer than the pictured ones, I believe they are 39$ a piece new...
I got them as freebies when I bought a couple of ballasts from a close-out...

I want them..

You can be a simple or complicated with this as you want. How about just buying a small, clear plastic Sterilite box shaped container from Wal-mart or the Container Store. You mount the lid inside the stand, then mount the modules to the stand through the lid. Notch out a piece of the container bottom side for the cords from the PC4s/SL1/SL2. Then you just pop on or off the container from the attached lid whenever you need access, and you have splash protection. Easy, simple, and accessible.

Nice Dave....I think im going for a cleaner look this go around. Im sure ill use it in the future though!

I just set everything up so that the sump and all the "wet or possibly splashing area" is on the left side of the cabinet and everything electrical is on the right side.. I thought about putting a divider in (just a sheet of acrylic that I could remove - the cheap stuff from Homedepot) but I've never needed it..
