Cool

Any electronics shop should have stacks of various cases. My local place has at least 15 different sizes and styles.

FreznoSmooth needs a "Book PC" case. These aren't a hobby enclosure, but a real PC enclosure like an ATX desktop case, but a smaller form-factor. This may be difficult since most book PC's come from China or Taiwan and come with the motherboard already mounted inside. You may want to contact a company that sells other types of cases, or try contacting the manufacturer of Book PCs if you can get in touch with them.

Cool

I know, but it will probably be easier just to buy a standard case and then adapt it.

A local store - Northern Tool and Equipment (They are probably all over the US, actually) sells old army surplus ammo cases. I'm thinkin of installing a computer in one of them, provided I can find something strong enough to cut through them!

Nifty idea, though. . . .
