Hey guys, I'm looking for an enclosure for my latest project. I know that there are tons of so called "project boxes" online, but I'm not looking for a box. I'd like something cylindrical or ovoid, preferably aluminum but I can work with plastic, and it needs to be large enough to fit a Pro Mini inside. I've done a fair bit of looking but so far I'm coming up blank. Any ideas? Maybe I could even repurpose some random household object and use it as an enclosure.
Maybe PVC plastic pipe with end caps.

Hammond manufacturing make more cases than you can imagine. Most of them are simple boxes but they have a huge range. I usually buy them through Mouser.
This one will just barely fit a Pro Mini, if you file the corners down a little: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=S1A-201209virtualkey54500000virtualkey789-S1A-201209 With a custom PCB under the Pro Mini, I've got these measuring temperatures, translating serial data and all sorts of things.
