Awesome, Manny. Glad to see it's alive!
And any self-respecting audiophile would honor their work by putting it in a separate box. :) Got this one on Ebay for $20. Nothing fancy, just two mating aluminum extrusions for the top and bottom and a couple powder coated end plates.
Finished stuffing the board last night, so the next step is to put everything in the box. I'm running the umbilical (Canare 4-wire in a star-quad lay) straight in to the board. No connector on the power supply, just a strain relief where the cable exits, and then an Oyaide plug on the end to go into the Wyred reclocker.
Hole in the front plate (below) is for the LED. Assembled board on top just to convey the size. Transformer is a Talema, but the same VA as yours so probably very similar in size. As an added bonus, you just haven't really lived fully until you spend over an hour Dremel-ing out the hole in the back plate for the IEC. :)

Very nice! I'm going for something a a little more steampunk in appearance and I'm going to try a voltage meter (analog) instead of an LED. I toyed with the idea of an illuminated gauge, but they are way too expensive.
I'm searching for some unique enclosure made out of wood or stone or a combination of wood and stone to house the power supply and preamp boards. Maybe something from a vintage piece of equipment.. we shall see.
I knew you were a card-carrying audio dude. :)
Please keep us posted on what you end up with.
