OK, not much of a project, but been using the stamps for a while. I recently had to upgrade my computer and it did not have a serial port any longer. So I got the Parallax USB to RS-232 Adapter. This item works great, but not having a case meant I misplaced it a few times as it is a bit small. So I wanted a little case for it (which would also help protect it while plugging and unplugging).
I found this little 9 Pin cable hood for $0.59. With a Dremel and a few minutes, I removed some plastic from the case in a few strategic spots. A small piece of heat shrink holds it together (I may glue it some day). BONUS, the holes for the screws align perfectly with the 2 LEDs on the board!
