Kind of what I am looking for the but US Farnell sites dont seem to have it yet. The cases you piece together are okay, but make it difficult to regain access to the actual board... you have to put them back together again. The only one they seem to have is the big red blob which is too large and doesn't look very good.
trying to find something like that that doesn't cost a lot for shipping ...
The one I got, took me more than 40 minutes to finally get it to go together.... Have not opened it since because I won't go through that again.

the Vesa mount one looks like you can have a GPIO cable out... The other ones do not or at least dont seem to.
Mis-marked on the solid color unit is the port speed... 10M is wrong. The Eth0 can only do 10/100 not 1000.

woo hoo - another box with holes in - at least its reasonably priced.
Show me a water-proof case or one you can stand on and I'll get excited.
Edit: apologies for my sarcasto-cortex (this is the socio-lobe speaking) - the little recess protecting the connectors looks handy and all those cases are good value for money.
I like these for a light-weight solution:
