[sdiy] Rack Panel / Enclosure question

[Bret Truchan]

Hello!

I'm working on a diy project that uses a 2U standard rack panel.  I'm having 
the front panels done by Front Panel Express. There's no enclosure.  The 
circuitry is destined to cling to the back like a frail robot monkey.  It's 
such a great project that I might eventually try to sell versions of it on 
e-bay. (top secret stuff!)

So, I have a few questions:

1) Is there any type of enclosure that I can use to protect the circuitry?  
(Perhaps, like a 2U case/ enclosure without a front panel, so I can add 
mine?)

2) Do people really care if the circuitry is contained?  I own a Wiard 
Manual Controller (joystick) panel, and it's circuitry is exposed in the 
back.  It makes me a little nervous, but I haven't had any trouble with it.

Thanks!
- Bret
