Welcome to part 6 of my Allstar Link node build.
In
this instalment the project finally comes together with the boxing up of all the various modules and parts that I covered in my previous blog posts.
Choice of enclosure
To enclose the project, I decided that I wanted to keep everything screened to minimize the possibility of unwanted interference in the shack. You may remember in part 4 of my build I commented that there's a reason computers are built into metal boxes!
I suspect that some readers of the blog maybe thinking but "my laptop case is plastic"; therefore my comment or argument is not a valid one!
Well, having stripped down many laptops for repair, I can substantiate my point due to the fact that the internal electronics of a laptop are shielded either by tin sheeting or a screened coating on the inside of the plastic shell, the same can also be said for tablet computers and mobile phones.
