Boxes For Circuits
You can buy pre-made plastic boxes designed for circuits or you can build your own. This page gives some ideas on how to do it. 1/2 inch plywood (or particle board) makes a good top and bottom for the box. the sides and back can be made of 1/8 inch wood or if the box needs to be stronger, 1x3's make great sides and back. I like to be able to see inside the box, so I use a piece of plexiglass for the front. If the circuit responds to sound, make sure to drill a hole near where the microphone is. Also some circuits generate enough heat that the box will need to at least be vented and in some cases may even need a fan. For boxes that will be outside, make sure they are weatherprofed, or at least placed where they won't get wet.
