Welcome to part 6 of my Allstar Link node build.
In
this installment 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 sense that some readers of the blog maybe thinking "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.
