thanks, Jacob! the enclosure came from radio shack. I bought it when I was first getting into building. I discovered that it was entirely too large for most everything, and plastic wasn't the way to go. but it was perfect for this. it was a joy to build, and handy as all get out!
it also took the place of all this, which is by the way, for sale.
UPDATE! SOLD!!

Sweet! I dig the mounting post battery tie down and I think face mounting the jacks is a great idea.

thanks! yeah, face mounting the jacks takes up less workspace area, no matter if you use straight or 90 degree 1/4" jacks.

I ordered one a couple weeks ago and am super pumped to get it going. I found some extra din connectors at work and was gonna borrow selfdestroyers idea and use them for the breakout points like he did. I have a couple projects that are just dying to be debugged!

That's pretty sweet.  Didn't know there was such a pcb.  My luck, I'd build it and need a working one to troubleshoot the troubleshooter.  ;)

LOL! never thought of that! fortunately, I had a tester to test the tester, so I was in good shape! actually, it's an easy build, despite it's fairly large size. check it out! you'll be glad you did!
