Casing your old PCBs?
vib_ribbon:
...this may be a daft question, but here goes.
like the average man, i can only ever afford the room in the flat for 1 cab, so i'm always having to swap PCBs in and out of it. All that handling of the PCBs, plugging and unplugging can't be good.
i'm also big on retro games, and the boards tend to come as this massive 3 tier stack of circuitry, 30 years old.
if only everything is like capcom's cps2 or taito's f3... PCB cased in a plastic shell.
the question is, does anyone make generic plastic shells for older/ bare PCBs? i know the old boards come in all sorts of different sizes, but if someone made these at an affordable price, i for one would be very interested in investing such protection for my boards...
thoughts?

not sure but i think if you look on the net you can get fairly cheap kits to cast your own easily out of resin
pcb:
You can use just about any container to store your boards. Just make sure you slip them in a Anti-static bag first. and maybe some bubble wrap to keep them form being bumped around.
ChadTower:
Yeah, I know a lot of folks who use Priority Mail boxes... just put the box in the cab and connect it.
vib_ribbon:
is it safe to keep the board in an anti static bag, wrapped in bubble wrap stuffed inside a box when it's connected and running in a cab?
kinda reminds me of an ex-colleague who put together an external harddrive in a cardboard box for his laptop. :o
