So the case arrived yesterday, and I am feeling a little silly. Even though its still pretty compact it just seems way too empty with the pi and my pretend power supply (still waiting for the real one) in it.
I think I"ll go with the 0905 case skrodahl has used but I really want a power switch on it somehwere.
skrodahl - do you think I could squeeze on of these in on the front panel?

I picked up a couple of panel mount RCA sockets and asked for some shielded wire with which to hook them up. I was given some that has 7x0.12 printed on it.
I believe the 7 refers to the number of strands of wire and the 0.12 is the diameter. It seems very thin. Will it be ok?, it will be going between hifiberry dac+ and the RCA sockets.

My shielded signal cable is so thin that my wire stripper can't remove its insulation. It works great though. You'll run a signal of 2-3 volts at a few milliamperes through them. No problem at all.
