A water resistant enclosure providing protection to electrical or electronic equipment contained therein includes a three-sided removable cover pivotally coupled to a wall mounting bracket that includes a back panel-base plate combination. The three-sided removable cover further includes an enclosure door that covers the front opening. The three-sided removable cover also includes features to provide for water resistance. These features include an overhang extension from the top side wall of the three-sided removable cover extending to partially cover the front opening and in particular to cover the seam created between the enclosure door and the removable cover, and a gutter surrounding the front opening to divert water therefrom. In addition, the three-sided removable cover and the wall mounting bracket include elements to provide for the proper alignment and orientation thereof when being mated together. In addition, the pivot member and pivot member receiver are attached to the interior of the top side and wall mounting bracket respectively such that the water resistance of the respective surfaces is not compromised.

An enclosure that includes at least first and second pieces of equipment having separate cooling airflows. A baffle is disposed within the enclosure to separate the enclosure into two compartments and to isolate the airflows for each piece of equipment within each of the respective compartments. The baffle includes a step portion to provide for a smooth airflow and to prevent hot spots from being formed on the baffle. The heated airflow from the second compartment is redirected away from the first compartment to an air duct or chimney that transports the heated air from the second compartment to an air output vent. When acting as a chimney, the air duct includes a flue portion, a buffer portion to enhance the convection draft, and an output opening. The separate airflows may be either convection driven or be a forced airflow driven by one or more fans.
