I picked up this aluminum case from a local surplus store
for only $50. The case was pretty dirty but I was able to remove unwanted
markings using fine sand paper and water. |

|
 |
I made some flat aluminum plates that were
attached to the bottom of the laptop using double sided tape. |
| |
|
 |
The
plates had mounting holes and were attached to the plastic base plate of
the case using screws. At the time, this was the best method I could come
up with for securing the laptop and yet still make it easily removable. |

This is a front
view of the case with an old
Pentium 120 mHz laptop for control. It still has enough
horsepower for video capture and serial port control. The test control GUI
was written in Visual Basic for Windows. |
