After drawing asketch for BeagleBoard this week I coud try something real. The board fit perfectly inside the box.

The whole for DVI-D would be a little bigger, the way it is the user need stick the connector well to don't loose image quality.

The entries for USB and MMC fitstogether in the same whole. I put RS232 output because it's a prototype, if you are developing something for an end-user you don't need that. The box in my tests don't heated

I'm using this box to show a "general purpose" computer to others. Inside the memory card I had some GNU/Linux distributions like: Angstron, Ubuntu and Gentoo. But Symbian and Maemo are in the roadmap. Other tests include runninglinus-git kernel done with CodeSourcery toolchain (2009q1 and 2009q3) and playing with armv7a instructions.
