I just installed a 24x7 iGate in one of their 14”x12”x8” vented boxes. Added my 
own 120mm DC fans. Well made, works great. The latches aren’t very tight, but 
it does seem like the gasket is sealing. I added some soft spacers to tighten 
them up. Wish I’d seen the tip about using a Forster bit. I used hole saws. 
Worked OK but bound up a few times for a slightly messy hole. I used their 
assortment of cable glands, which are great, and they hid the ragged edges of 
the holes.
