I'm currently working on modifying the blue box, so it can fit the Netduino, an expension shield, and battery.
I'll making an overlay so you can print an A4, unfold the box, cut out gaps, refold the box, and you're done.
It's a bit in the same spirit of these ASUS motherboard boxes:

If you didn't got a small box with your Netduino, don't wurry. I'm going to do the same with the red sparkfun box as well later

Excellent idea! nice post Stefan

[Christoc]

That's awful crafty

Great news, I just had some contact with Sparkfun. They're going to send me a box in every size they have, so I can make samples for all their boxes as well!

How cool is that?

Wait--do you have a Small Box and a Tiny Box?

Only a blue "small box". You have my address, right?

Cool... Nice use of something that almost anyone buying Netduino's, or electronics parts will have. I have two "blue boxes" and 3 or 4 Sparkfun boxes...

Here's a small update. The base idea will be that all you need to build a project box is:
- the cardboard box
- 3 bolts and screws
- the overlay (will become a PDF document for each kind of box)
- a utility knife

Any update on this?

Ohhh you got me! That's an old project that died silently!

Sorry, I haven't finished it yet. But hopefully it can inspire you?
