[Towertalk] plastic cover for I.C.E. boxes?

[FireBrick]

I buy KMart brand Tupperware. Put the gizmos inside, cut a slit in the cover
for the cables and position upside down. Most are a hazy color that protects
from the sun and the slits allow any condensation to drip out.
Cheap, and easy to obtain.
