I took a chance with a handheld project box found on ebay, which I already knew could not fit the KIT1 in its inside dimensions, so I took a shot at it and hoped I could hack my way to success 🙂
It is a Hammond 1553D Enclosure and it can be bought from many different sellers under names like “Soft sided Hand Held Enclosure Black 147 x 89 x 25 ABS Project Box Case” ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301490335412 )
I had to drill two holes in the KIT1 PCB to make it fit between the enclosure supports where the screws that holds it together is driven through. Luckily there was no tracks in the way, so no bridges had to be made.
I also had to cut down every pin on the ethernet board and screen board to get enough clearance for the lid to fit on. The ethernet connector is also soldered as good as welded on to the board 🙂
The PCB itself is perfectly soldered and with all components aligned either top to bottom or left to right, everything in same height, everything straightened to sit perfectly in its silk screen. The OCD was strong on assembling this.
Everything in the enclosure it cut by hand, the white front cover is plastic from a LCD monitor backlight scatter layers and the push button is a M6 nylon bolt. I also changed the on/off button to a sideways so it was able to be operated from the same front as which power in and ethernet goes through.
I also added a regular 2xAAA battery holder.
Cutting the radioactive logo was enough for me, the blade dulled just from that and I gave up doing a much finer cut of “uRadMonitor” above the screen.
