I wasn't sure if there was a section in the forums to post this. I just wanted to share my finished product and thank all those that helped me. I posted it on a blog I'm starting to document projects as I learn; here http://www.circuitsyn.com I hope I can be a help to others as I learn more. All the best

This is a custom designed enclosure for the solar lipoly charger with a minty boost output. I also used a lm3914 to design a status circuit. I had the enclosure laser cut from http://www.fabberz.com best prices I could find and great service. A shot of the working status circuit is on the site
