Get a proper enclosure. It’ll be much easier to mount the PCB as well as providing better protection and EMC performance.OK so find me a 12"x12" plastic enclosure that can hold various PCB’s, transformers, etc.
They dont exist to my knowledge…
Back when I needed something like this I found a sprinkler timer box (rain-bird, I think) at the local hardware store. The good thing about this was that it was a removable panel inside with a grid of holes drilled in it (there’s more space behind the removable panel where you can hide even more components). The whole thing is water-tight with a gasket. I don’t think it’s quite 12x12, but it’s not far off.
Here’s a picture – It’s housing a fuel injection computer on my sandrail.

EDIT: Actually it looks like it was an “orbit” sprinkler timer box, part #126702 from Lowes.
