    Thanks. I looked into it this morning. I guess pre-built boxes are what's best for me. A simple black box like this or similar will probably do the job:

      @Dheeraj: Where did this case come from ? Was the board inside custom made or pro mini ?

          I've got a few of these with 2xAAA, Arduino pro + radio + DS18b20 crammed into them

          Vented Box

          @mvdarend has my vote though... much cheaper and fun

            Good find.

            3x AA seems like magic number to aim for. It gets you 4.5v, so you can run directly from battery with no divider.

              What kind of box is that? Do you have a link where i can order these?

              @koen01 these are the ones in the store part under "2pcs Project boxes"

              z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
              rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
              mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

                Hello!

                I ordered these boxes. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/small-plastic-project-box-electronics-LED-junction-housing-10-pcs-73-36-24mm-plastic-enclosure-for/32244686811.html

                They have a nice design and are very small. I fit 2AA batteries, arduino pro mini and an nrf24 inside the box. It's a tight fit! you have to cut some plastic away from the battery holder and also remove the pins from the nrf module. But the result looks very professional. :)
                Price is also very good!

                So far I use them for door / window sensors.
