Ken, maybe I am confused...but are you/we talking about the PSU or
PSD?

You can mount the PSD (and that´s the only thing that should be
mounted inside a case) even in a 2,5 inch deep transit style case
that houses a TKB (I just checked that). The TKB is probably the
best choice as there is very little circuitry in the left half of
it. Plenty of space for mounting the PSD.

Regarding the "screw holes are closer together than the width of the
circuitry" I simply do not understand...possibly because I am not a
native english speaker...

I really appreciate this discussion as there is no pressure to do
things wrong...the more ideas the better...

All the best
