I am planning to build my case out of some 1/2" (actually 0.46") acrylic
plastic.  We received an order at work and the trucking company broke the
corners off of some large sheets.  The insurance company just told us to keep
the damaged sheets.  I have a plastic blade for my 10" table saw and the glue
operation is rather easy.  I built some pressure tight enclosures for an
automotive air leak test fixture we sold Honda several years ago.

I also have a piece of 1/2" alum tool plate for the base.

I am also planning to use a 25 pin gender changer to pass through lower cover.
Have to check to see if the plug will hold pressure?  This will permit me to
easily remove the entire VBB from case without a solder iron!  If the gender
changer does leak, I have several MS connectors that are tight and have the
advantage of using a 90 degree plug to reduce the 'off floor' height of base.

By the way, I have most of the parts made for my VBB and plan to post some
photos on my website later this week when I get the photo developed.  I have
just a few little things to finish up and then on to the final assembly.  After
that I can start to debug and test my electronics.
