Standalone Ocelot Enclosure

[compuguru]

I am going to setup an Ocelot and an SECU-16i in a someone's theater. The plan is to have a box in the equipment cabinet that has some buttons on the front that allow the person to turn the system on/off with a press of the button. The button will be connected to an SECU-16i and an Ocelot. The Ocelot will then execute the commands to power down/up the system.

Do you have any recommendations on an enclosure for this? Ideally, the buttons could be mounted on the front, and the SECU-16i and Ocelot would be enclosed inside the Enclosure. That way the only cords coming out of the box would be power and IR.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I mounted my Ocelot, SECU16, SECU16I, a power strip for the wall worts and a digital Break-out-box in a large plastic (Rubbermaid brand) box, the kind with two locking tabs for easy access. This I bolted to small sofa table which sets behind my AV stack. I added a 120MM fan and some 6 port RG-45 cover plates for I/O.

It looks strange but the table top comes in handy for testing and temp. hookups.

I would use an enclosure from the likes of Hoffman or Bud.

Middle Atlantic makes some nice rack mount boxes that come in several sizes and flavors. They have aluminum front panels so they're easy to work with... I've used them for a number of projects.
