Question for those who have completed DIY-WB assembly

[Steve.Flanagan at VerizonWireless.com]

Bruce,

That is why I mentioned "little" more clearance, the big point was the
mounting of the board inverted and the available space that is gained from
this.

One correction, I meant to say 1.25 inch of spare room, not 1.75 (given a 2
inch deep box)

looks like this

------------------  aluminum plate
||  &^%&*^!!*#  ||  plastic stands & components
------------------  PCB (mounted inverted)
    spare room
    spare room
    spare room


instead of this:


------------------   aluminum plate
||               ||  just stands
------------------   PCB (mounted above plate)
    &^%&*^!!*#       components
 less spare room
 less spare room

The point is depending on how you mount the PCB, you can obtain a lot of
spare room by placing the components facing the mounting plate.

Bending them over would just get you to .6"
There are caps that are radial, and trying to make this really compact is
going to generate problems for the less electronically inclined..  Remember
this is for the average guy, not just the EE types.  Or at least it is
intended to be.
