Enclosures for Pixie?

[James Hill]

Hey there everyone,

I am jumping off the deep end into pixels. Curious where everyone gets their enclosures? I am starting with an LOR Pixie8 and want to get an enclosure large enough for a 12V 350W power supply and the Pixie8 controller. Thanks in advance.

Many use the Cable Guard CG 1500 Cable Demarcation Boxes, readily available online.

You can order an enclosure with the mounting kit link also. Everything you need to mount it,

options include power supply, pigtails, wires. Everything you need. 
 

good luck! I jumped all in last year! WHEN you need some help, ask away!

If you are building a pixie16 and "want" to have two psu's (all of mine do) you will want the HC 2500 box and the generic mounting plate. If you need further build details feel free to PM me. I have a string there and will add you to the list.

I would not build a pixie8 with less than 500w. That is my pref and the cost from 350 to 500w is negligible.

Thanks Dibble, you have just confirmed my personal impression regarding PSU's

Note- I have never had PI, not needed at 156 pixels for me however if I ever needed it I can get it from that same PSU. It does not take a lot if ever needed.
