Anyone make a project box (plastic) this small...

Check the 'cases' pages at All Electronics.

They have some that are just a little larger or smaller than the dimensions you listed.

That's a travel toothbrush holder. :)

Reply in group, but if emailing add one more zero, and remove the last word.

I've got some about that size that I got a long time ago surplus. They're very nice die-cast aluminum, and I'm pretty sure that the blue paint on them is from DEC.

They look very Hammond-ish -- have you looked at the Hammond website? For that matter, have you looked on the DigiKey or Mouser web sites?

Jim doesn't look for anything. He has enablers on SED that do the work for him.

I was thinking along similar sort of lines - a lighter presentation case sprang to mind until I took a closer look at the narrow measurements.

Maybe something completely off the wall - like a presentation case for a fancy pen or even teenagers "dressing up" necklace type thing.

Some pharmacies in the UK sell ultra-slim reading glasses (about £5 last time I bought some) they're in an oval case a bit longer and narrower than specified, but other makes have jumped on the bandwaggon and some are not as compact.

Interesting that, after all of your pretense to the contrary, it's becoming more and more apparent that the match between you and electronics certainly wasn't made in heaven. Do you even know what a "project box" comprises?

On the small side

Well since you're so clueless, there wouldn't be any point trying to explain it to you.

Thanks, Martin! That PacTec one just might work. ...Jim Thompson

If you need the exact dimension, and if it is just for prototyping or a small number of boxes, you could design your own and print it at Shapeways. I've done this before for a prototype:

I've created this model in some minutes with ViaCAD 3D (the cheap version), nice CAD program. After painting the white plastic with metalic paint, it looked great :-)

For some reason, I can not help from having that long time memorial quote come to mine.

Might want to check out mpja.com - I believe I've seen smaller project boxes available there and the price isn't so bad.

With his ill gotten gains, he's hardly likely to be concerned about price.

How curious... Here's someone who lollygags about and begs for everything he gets and yet sees fit to besmirch the reputation of someone who's worked arduously and honestly for his gains.

There was no deputising going on then!

Some people don't appreciate seaweed, salt, and tofu!

I think making requests for something tricky like picking a transistor makes sense. Phil Hobbs has an amazing memory for discretes.

Too bad the blend presented seems to be nothing but salty.
