[hpsdr] Munin chassis considerations?

[Tim ORourke]

I have Munin and Hercules mounted in Hammond enclosures that match Hermes. 
I cut opening in solid top same size as pc board.  Heat sink is a bit larger and attaches to enclouser from inside via tapped holes in heatsink. 
The  bottom has the removeable piece to make easy access to amp.
I also mounted Gerds switch in enclosure and have not had any interface issues.
