Hello Joseph, We're in the process of getting a PCM-5822 also, as well as the enclosure that Advantech offers. It's only 1.5" in height and should nicely house either a 2.5" drive or a PC/104 card in addition to the SBM. For $60, I figure I can't go wrong getting it and trying it out rather than building my own enclosure -- my only experience with metal bending was many moons ago in grade school "woodshop" class, and while I have access to electronics components galore, there's no metal working equipment to be found here. One other thing - many people on the list are using the very computers they are talking about. Wireless connections can be very slow, so remember to be mindful about trimming your quotations down (especially when you quote Doug!) Have a nice one and enjoy assisted life, Jason Joseph Near wrote: > > > Simple and small solution: powertrends PT6302A. > > I looked at the website.
