slightly OT: plastic boxes....

Hi,
I'm looking for some ideas of plastic boxes to put some basic-stamp based
devices.
It's "art-oriented ": no real goal, just random sounds and blinking leds, with
maybe some switches but that's not really what's matter.That's why I'm looking
for something with a nice shape, and no sharp edges, for relatively small things
(4 to 10 inches max).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nicolas

and stuff. U.S. Plastics has some clear PVC pipe and joints. What about some
clear plastic hose?

FAI and other distributors offer transparent NEMA style plastic boxes in
several small sizes. Bud is one of the brands I've seen. Their optical
quality is a bit short of what's needed for a camera enclosure. But
cosmetic boxes sold in cheap department stores really take the cake for
variety and imagination. Design themes vary from military to high-tech to
Barbie-doll...

I recommend www.simcobox.com and www.polycase.com . Both have a good
selection with downloadable scale drawings for each size.
