I love what you did with your mega tree, main shaft pole! I love how neat all of the wires loo inside the box! I'm so impressed!I'm not sure who your referring to. I have no heat issues in my control panel. I did leave room for a fan but it never got that hot in there. I had a remote thermometer unit in the panel for a few weeks and it never got over 105F.My panel took forever to make! If I had to put a number on it I would say around 200 hours if it even stops there. But I am an electrician and I enjoy a good project like this!

gizmomkr Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 If there is an award for the best looking box, can I get a vote for the one "most likely to burn down the house"What can I say - its all SAFE, just a bit messy. The left one SHOULD have a cover on it, but nothing will fit around the heatsinks.Maybe I'll pop for some of those Keptel boxes next year... Maybe.

gizmomkr Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Should I go ahead and draw up a Light-o-rama "will" so someone can have my controllers and LED lights after I fry myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamj12b Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Here is mine. I have 2 box's. One with 2 CTB16K boards, both with high power heatsinks, and another box with 1 of the CTB16K Deluxe board also with high power heatsink. The box's are IP 55 fiberglass enclosures and I have made sure to seal the holes I added. I heat the internals with a hot air gun for about 5 mins to make sure there is no moisture before I seal it up for the time its outside. So far everything has stayed perfectly dry with them sitting right on the ground.-Adam Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeiilll Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well I guess I better throw in a couple of pictures of my boxes so far.The smaller ones are nice to place around small groups of items and the bigger enclosure is for my mega tree.

carsonpassey Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I just think the layout is cool. Definately, I want to grab my glove and start to over-under some cables......I really admire the time you spent in the layout and design, well done!!

carsonpassey Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The cabling here is very impressive. This is the third install like this I have viewed.. The first was the 10 million dollar HUB at UVU in Orem. The second was at Disneyland. (Ok, I should get out more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeiilll Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks.Yea the bigger box is easy to work on. I can change out a card if I need too in less than 10 minutes.Plus I color coded and numbered my cables to the tree for the 4 colors to make it easier as well.

I like the big box. What would you charge to build me one like that. I really don't need one, but it sure looks awesome.MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbzeus Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Here's a box I made for my first Christmas display this year. I bought the box off of ebay for $30.00 plus shipping. Mounted an aluminum plate inside to mount the controllers to and drilled holes for the cords and cat5. I was pretty happy how it turned out.Jeff Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbzeus Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 OH, the brown in the cover is paper covering the plexiglas window. The box is dust tight with a seal. It will be mounted in the garage so I didn't worry about rain tight.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shelby Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well here is one of mine. I use this on "Rhema Bridge" posted on youtube. Next year I'm going to build another one but with 8-16 channel PC cards. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shubb Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Here's half of my controllers. I didn't realize how much space they would take up when I built the enclosures, so the rest are mounted in separate boxes outside. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
