Darn I wish I had a picture! OK - describing the best I can...

I had an extra MOTM power supply panel sitting around.

This panel just fit into the ammo case, with maybe 1/4 clearance on each 
side, and about an extra 2 inches on one end. I made some small brackets 
to hold the panel in place, and used a small piece of wood at the end 
with the extra 2 inches under the panel as a separator to create a small 
storage compartment at that end.

I used a hole cutter and mounted my 4 pin screw-on connector on the panel.

When in use, I kept the ammo case lid off. The 1/4 space on each side 
seemed to provide adequate ventilation for heat dissipation. No thermal 
coupling anywhere. When not in use, the extra 2 inches on the end 
provided a great storage space for the connector cable I made.

If you look at the synth (formerly mine):

The module case itself (bottom two rows) is a custom made "Anvil" type 
case made by Thoroughbred Cases in Canada.  It has lids for the back and 
front and once closed up, was completely 'roadie proof', which is just a 
step above 'tank proof'. In the pic you can see a cable just behind the 
Doepfer ribbon controller box on the lower left of the pic - this is the 
power cable coming from the ammo boxes mounted underneath the case. The 
case power connectors are located on the left side of the case, just 
under the handles.

Worked great.
