:P~There are so many cruddy enclosures out there, though.  Care to recommend
:P~any?

I like the CI Designs cases.  Terry Kennedy turned me on to them 3-4
years ago and I've been using them exlusively.  They're certainly not
the finest enclosures, but they're better than most and I've had good
luck with them on all my 'cudas.  Terry now uses a much more expensive
enclosure that he seems partial to.  Check out his recent message for
the vendor name.
