Outside of a handle and latch, I finally finished my minimal sized enclosure. The dimensions are 24 1/4" wide, 26 1/4" deep and 21" high. Making the enclosure this small meant that I had to cut a hole in the side for the electronics box. As a bonus, this works out as a solution to providing cool air to the box. It also allowed me to move the LCD controller outside the box on the front, with the cables being just long enough. I drilled a small hole on one side for the USB, and a hole in the rear on the other side for the power cord. I also cut a slit on the top for the feed tube. I got the link for the printed brackets [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:675652](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:675652)  
If you want to use these brackets, I would recommend only using two screws per side on the 3 hole parts.
