Im looking for an external enclosure for my 4 line display. I have scoured the net and aucton sites without any luck. Im looking for something similar to this

Everything I have seen includes the controler and connectors for device connection (SCSI / Firewire / USB / ETC) and that makes up most of the price. I dont need anything that includes connectors, just the box (and small power supply). If anyone knows of a company that would sell this, I would greatly appriciate it.

Try looking at computer flea markets. I found an old Sony full hieght external enclosure with two proprietary sony cdroms still in it for only $5.00 at a local computer fair. A little model paint and that case matches my brushed aluminum stereo equipment - it looks sharp.

I unplugged the fan made sure heat could disapate - I am using the interanal powersupply molex for the backlight. Not bad for $5.00 and some digging. Plus, I feel as though I have saved 1 peice of outdated computer equipment from the landfill.
