Re: Re: [Gumstix-users] Custom Fabrication

www.pololu.com will laser-cut acrylic for reasonable rates.  I bet you
could make a nice case for a gumstix + addon boards for pretty cheap,
either with a few stacked layers of 1/8" acrylic or by building a box
with tabs & slots to keep things aligned.

They did a polycarbonate project for me (a small hexapod) and I found
them easy to work with.  They no longer cut polycarbonate but acrylic
should be fine for a gumstix case unless you intend to beat it up.=20
