Ok, I admit it, I have gotten a bit ahead of myself. I've gone ahead and made a case for the ESPLux before I have even started working on the board. I'm hoping to be able to fit the board into the Sick of Beige DP7043 case. If not, that's ok, I made it in OpenSCAD. I'll just update the code to fit the next size up.

I was looking for cases in all the usual places, and they all either look crap, are a one off, or are expensive. I was keen to have something that won't go away in the future, and the Sick of Beige standards are a great place to start off at.

The blue layer towards the bottom of the sandwich is the PCB. If you have been following along, I've been ordering different coloured boards from DirtyPCBs along the way. So far, my favourite is white, so I'll probably stick with that for the final version. I have access to a laser cutter, and so will just cut a bunch of perspex up to build up the sides. Depending on how high the caps are etc, I can increase or decrease the number of layers as required. The top will have a clear perspex lid so that you can see through to the components inside, and will have cutouts so you can get your screwdriver in to tighten/loosen the screw terminals for the inputs/outputs. I have decided on going with screw terminals rather than any particular standard at this time. I figure it leaves the most options available for whoever is using it. If you are using a standard MR16 globe, you could put those flyleads on, if not, just wire it up however you need.

I'm thinking I will probably use this for the lighting on my workbench in the garage too, which is just a 12vDC power supply with some LEDs hanging off it. I will put a screw terminal on for a DC input, that way you don't have to populate the bridge rectifier if you don't need it.
