NEScaf Enclosure
Hi Wayne. What Enclosure to use for your NEScaf is only limited by your imagination. I have seen them mounted in a variety of boxes, from Altoids tins to a camping soap dish. You don't have to get too fancy, unless you want to. If you haven't already, I suggest you browse through the NEScaf page of the NEQRP Gallery for some examples.
For store-bought cases, you can try Radio Shack. Most craft stores also have a supply of tins of various sizes. If you want to go for the full-on professional look, you could look into the nice extruded aluminum enclosures from Hammond and others. They are carried by the major mail-order suppliers like Fry's, Mouser, Newark and others. Ebay can be a good source as well. In all of these examples, you can do a search on the relavent web site for "project box". I am sure you will find plenty of options.
