Guys, i looked at his project pics (enlarge) and i noticed a couple of things.
The ATX psu is elevated at least 7-10 inches high from bottom side where the "vent" is and the rest of the cables/wires, i guess that is to prevent the water.
I also noticed the enclosure itself has a rubber seal and a water rails to prevent the water dripping inside, which is about 2-3 inches high, i'm just guessing i noticed the front door sidings.
at the back of the back plate where everything are mounted, there is some kind of insulator or something.
there's some kind of rubber support at the underside where all the connectors arelocated, i reckon that is to prevent water to get in.
the enclosure seems to be o.k. and how he mounted everything, though i am skeptic about the 110/220 volts, just like he said, i looked at my own power leads to see if what he say is true, and yes he is right!, the power lead contact point is buried deep and if you install the socket the way he did (upright position), it's impossible for the water to get-in as the "male-female" contact point is buried, one thing though, he did not show what kind of power cable he use.
and as what he claims, if the enclosure is a fire/heat resistant that is a real treat!.
i guess he only need to refine his enclosure for a better safety.
