Good point!
I'm definitely going for a two box approach as I stated in an earlier
post. I will use a couple of enclosures from DIYenclosures.com. The
power supply enclosure should arrive tomorrow. Should keep me busy this
weekend :-)

Yesterday, I was at my local dealer (Jeff's Sound Values) and the owner
showed me a sheet of special material that's supposed to filter EMI/RFI
emissions. This adhesive material can go inside the chassis or  wrapped
around certain parts such as analog and digital connections. It's non
conductive. I forgot to ask the exact name of the thing, but I'll
research it for my project.
