I am a fan of old stamped sheet metal mini-PC cases, and also a fan of the clamshell "A/B" switch cases.
Usually the PC case is thin stamped sheet metal but often has a plastic fascia that goes over the sheet metal. They have lots of ventilation holes, unlike the clamshell A/B switches which tend to be thicker metal (didn't need stamping for rigidity) with fewer holes. If I need a DB-25 or DB-9 hole... the A/B serial switches are real attractive because most of them have that kind of holes and sockets in them already. Usually I just pick these out of the trash but if need be they are only a few bucks new. http://www.b2b-computer-case.com/mini-itx-case/04.htm http://www.cablesdirect.com/prodimages/CA260X_LR.jpg Tim N3QE On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 11:03 PM, Bob Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > I've had the Rb on the shelf for a few days next to a few old 3.5" disk > drives, and it suddenly struck me that they're about the same size. > External drive cases and PSUs are "cheap as chips", as they say, so I was > wondering how many people are using an external drive case to hold their Rb > standard?
