Finding a case for your µBITx is easy … finding a good case is more tricky. Many use one of the many µBITx cases sold by Sunil. Others have their own favourites
Two new suggestions from Jack KZ5A are worthy of a second look.
The Cheval case illustrated below can be obtained in both steel and aluminium versions (we would strongly recommend the aluminium version). This case will have to be imported from Thailand. It is also available on eBay. It is a very nice looking enclosure, reminiscent of Heathkit enclosures from the 1970s.
The Circuit Specialists aluminium instrument enclosure is a not quite as good looking enclosure, but at a very good price ($US21 excl shipping).
Mike ZL1AXG purchased several aluminium cases from aliexpress.com that are intended to house stereo amplifiers. This particular model (Breeze 2207) is 228mm x 70mm x 215mm. A good size for incorporating a few additional circuit boards alongside the µBITx main board. These cases are precision made and look really nice. They can be acquired for around US$15 each (plus shipping – that will be more than the cost of the enclosure). Mike has yet to transplant his µBITx into the new case.
