Does anyone have any suggestions for small/low profile aluminum enclosures for the Make Controller? Thanks, Rick

bump - I am interested in this as well. For me, aluminum or good-looking plastic would do.

I purchased these for a recent project (7.17x7.09x2.48 inch). Not great (and they don't typically stock many of these sizes) but do the trick if you can wait for it to arrive: http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=654.pdf

More info: I'm looking for a case like this: http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/HPS.html -- a desktop, keypad-with-LCD kind of case. The problem with that one is that it is only 3.5" wide, and the MAKE board is 4" wide. I don't have the resources to do a custom breakout board for the MAKE. Arggh. For what it's worth, here is the best I've found: https://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/KEU-5LP.html For someone not needing a sloping/LCD enclosure, this one (fom Digikey) might do: http://rocky.digikey.com/WebLib/Hammond/Web%20Photo/1598BBK.jpg OKW Enclosures (http://www.okwenclosures.com/) has a wide range, but they're very expensive in ones and twos.

I see this is a fairly old post. I just got my make controller, i'm pretty good at breaking stuff so i'm already thinking about enclosures. The latest controller board is just under 5 inches all around.


Was thinking of getting a hardrive enclosure. Anyone else done this? even if you haven't does anyone know how how hard dive dimensions are determined? the 5.25" enclosures seem plenty big and some even have fans...

but maybe a 3.5" would be big enough.

This one though is the sweetest looking and cheapest
