==Searching for Small Enclosure== Turns out enclosures are very hard to search for. After much agony, I found only a couple of suitable parts. But first, some criteria: we wanted plastic (cheaper, doesn't short, lighter, etc), we needed at least one and preferably two "panels" (ends that are removable/customizable), and wanted small: <3x2x1, and we wanted some kind of mount points for a PCB. The hardest part was the height: almost everything is more than an inch in height. In fact we finally had to settle on this front. The part we chose finally: [http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/JM-22.html PanTec JM-22], 2.4 x 2.2 x 1 in, 2 screws, enclosure presses against PCB to hold it in place, 2 panels. $2.84 for <100, $2.20 >=100. Eric will try to get samples, or purchase several if necessary. Other parts and links that might be handy for other people: [http://www.industrial-enclosures.com/html/ks003-plastic-enclosures.html Industrial Enclosure] - too long for us, but they do have small heights. [http://www.hammondmfg.com/dwg8.htm Hammond Mfg] - either too tall, or too long. [http://www.polycase.com/category/kt-series.html PolyCase] - nice size, but lacks panels. [http://www.simcobox.com/ SimcoBox] - too big, lack of panels.
