1. A method for manufacturing an apparatus for containing objects, the method comprising:

  • forming first and second heat-conducting partial-shells having first and second faces, respectively;

    forming at least one continuous first groove in the first and second faces around the perimeter of the first and second partial-shells;

    forming at least one continuous second groove in the first and second faces exterior to the respective first grooves around the perimeter of the first and second partial-shells;

    attaching at least one object to either the first or second partial-shell for thermal contact therebetween;

    forming a housing by butting the first and second faces together, whereby aligning the respective first grooves to form at least one continuous first channel in the abutment and aligning the respective second grooves to form at least one continuous second channel in the abutment exteriorly of the first;

    sealing the housing against electromagnetic interference;

    enhancing the heat transfer between the first and second heat-conducting shells; and

    sealing the housing against the weather.
