Just O.T for a sec. Where's the best place to get those fuse breaker thingy's I see in all the set-ups? I feel I should be adding them since they are in there all the time for everyone.

You can just search for fuse block. I just found this one on eBay that looks okay for 8 connections.

I Have been using this brand from Bunning for the last 3 years. The left one is a power injection box and the right one is my speaker box that gets chained to the letter box. $20 I also have some of the next size up as well

That's what I was going to check out. The lid looks sturdy and wouldn't hold water, and has a good size lip on it. Should be waterproof. I'm going to put a vent in anyway and it will be on my porch with my F16, PSU, router, FPP, and FM transmitter. Was going to just use this https://www.bunnings.com.au/tactix-60l-heavy-duty-storage-box_p2583691 and get the smaller ones for the receivers. I've tried a few other ideas but I like space inside for ventilation and I hate troubleshooting when you can't see stuff or plug stuff in without knocking other stuff out. :)

Hey Damona,

I got them from Amazon. I paid about $23 for 5 of them. Looks like they've gone up a little since then. Fortunately I've kept links on everything I've bought. See below.


Cheers

The actual fan's are from Amazon but the vent comes from da-Share. I did buy fans from them too originally but accidentally bought the 5v ones and it was just a bit too pricey with shipping to order replacement 12v fans from them.

I see these cases are back in stock at Bunnings. Smaller than last year's ones, they measrue 345 X 295 X 154 but should be good for smart receiver or possibly even F16. Going for $39 and in new Orange / Khaki colours. I tried to see if they have the bigger ones also, but couldn't find them. Also couldn't find them on their website.

No idea why they’re appearing sideways…

Interesting that they are charging $12 more than last year. That is a whopping 25% increase year on year. Don't know about anybody else here, but I certainly didn't get a 25% salary increase...

Bought 3 yesterday. Couldn't be bothered searching for "the right one" anymore. These seem great although higher priced than I'd like and than last year.
