Default Re: Quick-and-dirty testgear: mains voltage monitor.

Interesting suggestions... I still think a square drainpipe is the best option. I don't really do wood - if I made a housing out of wood I'd spray it either WWII-style black-crackle, piano-gloss black or shiny-aluminium. To me, wood just doesn't say 'precision instrument'.

OTOH I know someone who has a mill and could machine me an 80x80x80mm cube from 4130 steel. But it'd still cost me significantly more than the display it housed...
