Hi forum,
Before christmass Hippy posted a thread about Poundland selling a small project box (fake alarm) with a 3x AAA battery compartment, 4 LED, aLDR and a switch. All for £1. Very good value.

I went yesterday and they are still available. I also found a step counter (http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11577&highlight=poundland) and a nice 9cm aluminium antenna.
I bought some boxes before Christmas and I have been working at packaging an 8M based radio-thermometer in it.
I have measured it all up and done all the packaging in 3D using pro-Engineer Wildfire2. The files are available if anyone is interested.
For the moment I attach the drawing of the biggest board that can be packaged into the box. It is possible to desolder the switch from the original board and "convince" it to fit a 0.1 inches pitch pre-drilled board.
I hope others find it useful.
