Thanks Pete. The pictures were very helpful. In my case I've already 
mounted a SPST switch where you have the binding posts. My plan is to 
install a Power Pole chassis mount 
(http://www.powerwerx.com/powerpole-accessories/powerpoles-chassis-mount-2-sets.html) 
in the existing Power Pole opening in Pandora, and solder the other end 
of the wires coming from the Power Pole receptacle to the PicoPSU, in 
place of the existing white and back wires. I like your idea of the 
binding posts for expansion use. I think when I need that I can install 
binding posts internal to Pandora, and connect them to the second set of 
Power Poles coming in through the existing opening.

I'm not sure if the Power Pole Chassis Mount will fit properly. I think 
it's the right size for the existing opening, but I can widen the 
opening if needed. I'm a bit concerned about whether the Power Poles 
coming into Pandora will have room to stay clear of the PicoPSU. I think 
it will work, but it's going to be close. If there's a conflict, I guess 
I can widen the Pandora opening and move the Power Pole receptacle 
toward the expanded edge, and find some way to fill the gap at the other 
edge.
