DIY ballast box

[jstraka1]

I got a deal on two 175watt MH ballasts and I need some input for a DIY ballast enclosure. I want it to house both ballasts, have two power switches, and a PC fan for cooling. I need suggestions on what to use for the metal box itself and wiring diagrams. Also, what gauge wire would be best. The search is down, so if anyone can direct me to a link of a previous thread covering this that would be great also. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

I seen a ballast enclosure made out of a metal tool box, It was for two 400w ballest the box had switches on it and a fan to pull air thought it for cooling and he even put rubble feet on it. It also still had the handle on it so it could be moved around easy.

Here it a picture of mine ,it is a 6"x6"x4" metal electric box, sorry for the picture, It is for a 175 ballast.http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/100832MVC-060F__Custom_.JPG
