Workshop Update
http://code.google.com/p/open-evse/wiki/OpenEVSE_Workshop?ts=1352676672&updated=OpenEVSE_Workshop
For those building custom EVSEs (Option 2) do not forget to order you Enclosures, fuses/circuit breakers, power cord (if needed), J1772 cable/Contactor (if you did not add the option(s)).
Here are a couple of ideas for enclosures. Links for a couple standard plastic NEMA enclosures below. Here is a link for Industrial Steel type enclosures
http://www.enclosurehub.com/.
The large one is was used by mwolrich in his build . The nice thing about this enclosure is it has a bottom and top plate so you can mount the LCD, Circuit breakers etc. on the top plate and then close the clear plastic cover to keep it water tight. http://code.google.com/p/open-evse/wiki/75AOpenEVSE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . You may be able to get by with the smaller one if you package everything well but I would check the dimensions carefully. The largest component is the Contactor which is about 4.2" cubed.

For those building with a cord you will need internal fuses or a circuit breaker. Here are 2 ideas for breakers (50A for 40A EVSE) there are tons of options on Digikey so feel free to explore. One is chassis mount which would allow the breaker to be accessed externally the second mounts on a DIN rail and would be inside the EVSE. The choice may be influenced by the enclosure choice.
