Since the Dragon has no holes for mounting,I took some rubber grommets and a few screws (could be machine for thru holes or wood for going into wood)and used a washer between the head of the screw and the grommet so I could compress the grommet to hold the edge of the board.Sorry for the color but I was feeling blue.

Nice idea! I'm thinking of simply using a glue gun. I'll think about using this though.

There are pointy haired bald people.
Time flies when you have a bad prescaler selected.

I just used four of those stick on, small feet from the local department store.

I'll believe corporations

Found a plexy case from one of my old projects, fits perfectly after some surgery with a dremel.

If the case locks the pcb can't move an inch, the bad thing is that there arre no markings on that old case, ontherwise other people could get one

plastic tends to collect static. Have you tested it for that? rub it with wool and see, if you can get a shock/pick up some paper. If you can, then get your dragon out of there! or another will be slayed (shocked)

Most CD/DVD drives have the OP kind of rubber mounting to combat noise and such, maby that is easyer to get hold of.

UR right, started a new topic on it called "Dragon Lair(antistatic)" so not to hijack the thread.
