Looks pretty cool, but I'd be currious exactly how big it is. Pretty spendy too.

Thumbs up

Dimension: 112 mm x 158 mm. Mounting depth: 50 mm.

In english that's 4.4" x 6.2" with a mounting depth of about 2".

Did you build the switches also?

Every time someone talks about switch panels, Phat busts out his little jobber there. And then I grab some attention and put up pics of mine too.



All are connected remotely via a quick-disco'd length of CAT-5 cable, to a water-resistant relay box. The box has a breakout strip on top of it to hook up all the accessories.



Not quite $3, but very functional anyway.

I do like Deke's utilization of that space though, and I might find myself putting something there in the near future.
