Sorry for repeating myself about this: If you want a good thermally stable enclosure, pick and old freezer or fridge, leave it unplugged, add as many bricks as you can for thermal mass and get on with the fun stuff... They come in all sizes, have well designed door closing mechanisms and can often be had for free, when a working compressor is not needed. If you need active temperature control, get somebody with the proper kit to suck the gas out, and run water through the nice plumbing already installed. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] -- To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
