    This case is made out of ½ mdf, and is about 8 ½” square and 3 1/2” deep.
    I drilled 3 5/8” holes in the opposite sides (6 total), sprayed it with truck bed liner and stuck 4 rubber feet on the bottom.
    A 1/8” Plexiglas top with a simple fan provides great heat dispersal, but if I was going to put H-Bridges in it, I would put a fan over each H-Bridge.

    You can see 8 screw holes I need screws for to hold the lid down in the pic.
    This picture really does not do it justice – the glowing rim looks So much better in real life! :thbup:
    Your common fans come in red, green, and blue too!
