[MLB-WIRELESS] ap in a box

[Steven Haigh]

This URL being a good example, a better idea would be to have all in/out 
points on the box at the bottom of the box - if the holes are on the 
side/top of the box, there's more of a chance of leaking...

Also, if you can use a metal box, you can use the entire box as a 
heatsink for the 7805 regulator (assuming your AP takes 5V) and then 
just adjust the line voltage to suit (so you don't create too much heat)...
