Might I suggest you use a 3/4" #4 screws. I have had trouble using the 1/2" screw to open and close the box more than once. I finally bought some 3/4" screws and have had no problems since.</p>

My best estimates are that the Uno will need under 1/2"; and, the Wombat will need 1/2" once products mounted.</p><p>Based on the Dimension Drawing, the head room in the box is (.50-.10) + (.645-.10) = just about 1".</p><p>I'm new to microelectronics, so I want to double check before I jump.</p><p>My questions:
Have you mounted two boards with approximate dimensions described above in this case?
Do you have any suggestions for internal mounting of either board?</p><p>Thank you!</p></p>

I had luck using a drill bit to get a pilot hole and then using a nibbler to make some rather nice square holes. The nibbler can 'whiten' scar the immediate area around it if you get it to close to the edge of the plastic, but otherwise works great! Just make sure your nibbler has enough clearance for its cutter as compared to the thickness of this plastic.</p>

As it is now, clear is cool, but not functional.</p>

If you want to update the screws to something better looking, a 2-56 (3/4 inch long) cap head screw fits wonderfully. You just need to thread the bottom holes. When the screw is in place, the head sits flush to the surface.</p>

Can this allow display without any obstructions like the "bird" in front of the case blocking display? Also I'm guessing 100x80mm is the maximum pcb size that will fit in there. Thanks.</p>

It was just the right size once the other components and hook up wires were installed.<br>
At first, I thought is was too big. I used all the space!<br>
I used my soldering iron to make rough openings and then a small file to shape and smooth the cutouts until the USB and DB-25 jacks fit.<br>
Clear plastic is a great way to show off DIY projects.<br>
I feel it also encourages one to improve their craftsmanship since everyone can see inside.</p>
