[time-nuts] Case for Rb Standard?

[Tim Shoppa]

I am a fan of old stamped sheet metal mini-PC cases, and also a fan of the
clamshell "A/B" switch cases.

Usually the PC case is thin stamped sheet metal but often has a plastic
fascia that goes over the sheet metal. They have lots of ventilation holes,
unlike the clamshell A/B switches which tend to be thicker metal (didn't
need stamping for rigidity) with fewer holes. If I need a DB-25 or DB-9
hole... the A/B serial switches are real attractive because most of them
have that kind of holes and sockets in them already.

Usually I just pick these out of the trash but if need be they are only a
few bucks new.
