Non mi piace tanto l\'idea di lasciare shoe-box in inglese pero parallelepipedo non mi convince. A me sembra che l\'idea sia quella di \"coperchio rimovibile\" e che si dovrebbe differenziare da armadi (anche loro a forma di parallelepipedo)

Explanation:
Secondo la mia modestissima opinione "shoe-box" andrebbe tradotto.
In italiano tutti sanno il significato di "parallelepipedo", mentre il corrispondente termine inglese (parallelepiped) viene usato poco, per cui scatta l'analogia con la scatola da scarpe. Però non vedo perchè qui non si possa usare
"alimentatore a forma di parallelepipedo",
o qualcosa di simile.....

Ciao,
M.
