If you have some sheet metal skills, you can modify other things to
work as a case. I used an old Tivo that I got for $20 and put my Zotac
ION in it with loads of room to spare. You could also use an old set
top box, satellite receiver, or even a VCR...sometimes you need to
think outside the box, pun intended... :)
