Case to host a custom FPGA board

[gerson]

Hi,
I'm looking for a case that can hold an FPGA board with the following dimensions 148mm x 312mm x 50mm (WLH). It also has ports on the side so there needs to be room to run a couple cables that plug in to the side. All the cases I looked at don't have width to fit the card. Anyone have suggestions?

well first off, you got to find a case that supports your motherboard.

i did a quick search and i see that buying a plastic box and adding standoffs is the best thing to do.

so pretty much, make your own case

Planning on placing a laptop mobo in a box?

On a real note, you could just leave the board on some cardboard. You're using it for programming I take it?

Also - check the xilinx forums, they should have some info on fpga enclosures.
