Enclosure design for a building automation product

The main board can feature as a standalone product but in many cases will be connected with the HV and I/O submodule boards, in which case they need to form a single product. There should be a lock-in mechanism on the side panels of the main enclosure to allow connection with HV board and I/O board. The Main board will have an LED panel illuminating the company logo (which will change colours based on the product status). Each individual enclosure should be DIN rail mountable. The top and bottom inputs and outputs modules on each board should be exposed so that appropriate connections can be made without opening the box. The way the three modules assemble together into one product should be similar to this:

Beyond the technical specifications we are looking for a fresh design to take away the feel of an industrial product and make this looks more like a consumer product. We are looking for something sleek and fresh with the look and feel of a quality product.

Thank you for your entry, the design you proposed has clean lines however is not for off from an off the shelf case and I think the team will like to see something more creative.
Thank you and good luck.

Please take a look at entry
Need your feedback on the design and I will improve it before my final submission.

1: I did not understand what you like (you can make a skech)
2: the middle part is completely autonomous.
3: you choose what you want color as same as the product name you are free

Thank you for your comment, unfortunately 3D files for the PCBs with all the electronic components and connectors are not available at the moment, that&;s why we have provided the pictures with all the angles on connectors so you have a better understanding of the dimensions.
We are not interested in modeling the electronic components, just the enclosures.
As mentioned before, it&;s the overall design idea that will weight the most in the final decision. Dimensions adjustment can be made to fit the electronics by the manufacturer engineers before production.
Best regards,

I would like to participate in your contest as I have been successful in many similar designing contest here and on other sites, but I think it would be really good if you could upload CAD files from the electronics in a neutral format (step/iges), after all our job is to design the outer housing and not the inner electronics. That would surely bring bigger competition so people would waste with modeling something that is already designed.

To encourage more people to participate we&;ve added a second place prize as well. Early submissions will receive detailed feedback and will have a change to improve the end result before deadline.
