[time-nuts] Thunderbolt mounting

[d.seiter at comcast.net]

When I had my Tbolt running full time, I just had it sitting in the bottom corner of a bookcase that was hard to get to (Tek 7104 on a cart packed with other gear too was in the way, along with piles of other things). No drafts, so the temp stayed pretty constant. It was taken out of full service when I got a Z3801. 


I want to build a home for it and my two Rb units in a temp controlled box, but haven't gotten there yet.

I have mine in a nice case along with the switcher supply. Am debating on the need of including a small fan. I made a shelf from 2 sided PCB material and mounted the Thunderbolt onto that shelf. 
The switching power supply sits below the Thunderbolt mounted to the case bottom.

Has anyone experimented with this and found the best solution? I would like to remove the strong dependence on room temperature that I have currently.

There are quite a few adjustments available for it and it makes sense to me not to reinvent the wheel. I have googled and got some results using Tboltmon. Have tried Lady Heather, but have to figure out just how to utilize that program.
