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

    Your kit should have come with a set of stick-on rubber feet. If not,
    call our tech support group and they'll send you out a set.

    It's a 3" x 4" board. I bought a breadboard
    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.
