OK, my build is done, i had to melt through the plastic by heating a razor with a propane torch, held it with some vice grips. I originally Tried to score it but after like 50 scores i realized it wasn't going to happen that way. Perhaps my project box was thicker than usual, i dunno.

A little late to the party, but did some test cuts in my enclosure to figure out what the best way is to cut square holes. What worked best for me was drilling out the corners and taking the coping saw to it. Also, an Xacto knife with one of the serrated blades works, as well - just much slower than the coping saw. Felt like I had more fine control with the Xacto knife, but not the patience to keep on using it, as it was much slower.

Both methods left clean cuts that only needed a light sanding.

This temp controller is way cool! Got it hooked up temporarily, still need to build a 'chamber' out of my closet. But even in my bedroom it's Holding steady at 22-23C!

I have the probe against one of the carboys:

I thought you guys would like the brown paper bags. Watch now, it'll be a HBT trend!

That's because Radio Shack sucks. I don't have lamps on my fridge controller, but I used 120V lamps on my HERMS control panel. They were like $1 each from mouser.com.

Shipping might get you on such a small order, though. I bought mine at the same time as I bought a ton of things for the system build.
