Default Best place to mount Hella relay box

I got a Hella Four-Way Relay Box a while back. But I'm not sure where to mount it. Looking to put it in the engine compartment. Any ideas? Pics?

Idealy, close to the battery as possible. As for actual mounting methods?

Behind the battery. I'll take a pic of my PIAA relays, they are BIG. But they fitted perfectly behind the battery.

You see them below the inverted "V" on the wall behind the batt:

Default How about 4 Hella Relays?

Here is where I mounted my first relay , the second I mounted on the exact opposite side, now (not to hijack this) I need ideas for 2 more spots once my light bar and lights get here.

I call this my "carded relays". I have 7 of them between the battery and the fuse box. Not pretty, but effective.

That's pretty clean in my opinion!
