    Not sure yet, trying to find a used (think ugly as sin rattle canned shuttle case for $10 used) itx case for my budget mod but if I can't I am thinking of sandwiching it between acrylic. Board dimensions are 6.75 inch x 6.75 inch
    Regedit'ed, Rooted, and Jailbroke anymore questions?
    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

    well those black panels I got you can get from any RV dealership. They're actually door insert panels for RV refrigerators

    Looks great. One thing though.. I wouldn't push that DC-DC converter over 50V if I were you...assuming the circuit is what I think it is, those 50V caps will limit the realistically usable max voltage, and overvolting caps is generally a bad thing.

    it says it will support up to 65v, but I'm not planning on going any higher than 30 with it, and I doubt I'll even need that much, but it's nice to have the ability to get anything in between 1.3 and 30, should the need arise

    Well, assuming it's a fairly standard DC-DC buck converter, the caps should be stabilizing the input and output voltages, so if you try and take the output voltage higher than the voltage rating of the caps, you'll be over-volting the caps...which could get messy. I don't doubt that they said it'll go to 65V, and it might very well work at 65V for a while, but I wouldn't run it at more than 50V for any amount of time without replacing those caps with higher voltage ones. ...though, since you're not planning on going over 30V anyway, I guess it doesn't really matter all that much.
