That's exactly why I wanted the grey one!
Lightning fast delivery too!
Thanks to the others for their suggestions too and sorry to Grahame for hi-jacking the thread but I think it's all relevant.

I recall seeing a post whereby Daab had mounted an ATC-800 in a sandwich box. Had a browse through and cant find it though, was back in April 08 I think

Totem they are pretty straight forward but here is the GW44208 Gewiss Enclosure i bought, along with the ATC 800.
Hinged open (Note: Those blue wires are substituting for other colours as I ran out of the correct colour coded wire!!)

That makes a very neat job of it mm!
Even at £15.53 inc postage it's worth it for the end product.
I'm currently scanning the RS website as we have an account with them at work so I should be able to avoid the added postage.

How easy/difficult would it be to cut the required holes in the lid of a diecast aluminium alloy enclosure?

Finally got round to my ATC-800 and fridge conversion.
I'm very pleased with the result as it's working a treat!
Here's some brew porn action shots.

On top of one of the others?!
I could do with a third but to get it into my shed something else will have to go.

One fridge is under the kitchen worktop. A second (beer) fridge is in the under-the-stairs cupboard in the living room. A fermentation fridge would have to go in the garage or shed
instead of something...

It sounds like you need to convert either your garage or shed in to a brew house and have everything in one place.
I'm out in the shed as I type surrounded by fridges, shineyness and a fermenting brew, I think I'm in heaven but my family think I'm mad and occasionally ask if I still live with them.
