Just FYI for those looking for an immediate enclosure for a Propeller Board, so far I've only tried a Propeller USB board from GG.

Hardware store, metal electrical outlet box, normal size ones, fits perfect inside with a few standoffs, has several holes for switches, leds, ect... and it's really cheap.

See picture!

EDIT: don't mind the mess, 3 different projects with one being a possible commercial product.

    That is a really good idea. I tried many other items around the shop but never though of an electical box. Thanks for the suggestion

    That's a really good idea. It's worth noting that there are also very tough plastic boxes made for the same purpose, and they're made from a tough but not too hard thermoplastic that drills and cuts really easily without splitting like acrylic and plexiglas. You can also find metal and wood solid faceplates which are much easier to work than the usual plastic ones, which are made of a plastic that's hard to work like acrylic etc.
