This is our version of the dreadful Hammond box. We're just now adding
the bottom flange, to allow serious power dissipation. That will be an
extrusion too.

Now the challenge is to mount three of these in a 1U rackmount adapter
tray, and snug them down good, without having to remove the tray from
the rack. Maybe that's too ambitious.

A ball-end hex driver works at a 25 degree angle off vertical (some
people say 30) so the two front mounting screws can be accessed from
the front of the rack.
