thanks for the info glen and the offer. ill start looking for a plastic box (which i believe is required).

yeah it has screw terminals on the 240v side. worse case im just going to wedge it into a tupperware container and duct tape it up

I found a metal box at jaycar that looks like it should do the job. Their largest ABS one might do but its a little squeesy.

This is the metal one

Its not tiny but it should have enough room inside.
I also got their IEC plug with switch (computer power supply) and fuse ($6). And the insulated banana plugs for the current($1.50 or so per component). They are a little small but they should probably handle the current ok. Upside is its really hard to accidentally short the terminals.
They also have "wall plug" style 12v plugs but they are a little expensive and large.
I'd be half tempted to put the PSU and charger inside a heavy duty box together just to protect it from the airport baggage people.

The good news.
Have all todays fights on video, have edited them down to about 6 minutes and it looks pretty cool.
The bad news.
A bouyt a week ago I misjudged my cable downloads and max'd out and have been put onto modem speed, yuk.
Am trying to upload 60 megs at the moment to youtube so if it all works in probably an hour at a guess then will update this post.
If not have already burnt a few dvds of the highlight to give out to Aaron amongst others to try to get it avaiable.
I was a late entrant just putting my bot together yesterday but luckily got some byes and took videos.
