Where are you getting those for $15? Last place I checked wanted $50-$60. I'm using the Corning Optiway nid enclosure. There isn't as good of a place to attach a router board as in the one you specified, but it does allow for a standard snap-in ONT. Ignitenet claims that they are considering a mounting plate for their revised media converter that will snap in to the standard size NID closure. That would be nice.
