How best mount BOE?

All,
I just got my first stamp setup in the mail yesterday--it's a BOE BS2 kit.
Question: what's the best way to mount a BOE? I don't want to just put
it on the table. I thought about either (a) buying some kind of
box/enclosure at Radio Shack, or (b) cutting a piece of wood slightly
larger than the BOE and then using some bolts with spacers to mount it
above the board.
How do y'all do it?
Michael

[noparse][[/noparse]Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
from RadioShack, and mounted the BOE on spacer's
above the board, so I could get more prototyping
area.
Using a small piece of 1/4 hard-board under
the BOE, again mounted with spacers, should
keep you from shorting out the bottom of the
board.
And the BOE-bot lets you mount the board on the
top of the robot.
I believe a PacTec HM series enclosure (get
the 'wide' one) should hold the BOE.
