arduino shield, MAX7219CNG+ chip and enclosure

Today I managed to find some guys from the UK doing a group buy of arduino shield PCB's! This is really exciting as this is the only part that is not readily available to the public. I should be receiving it in early October for about $40AUS including postage, an absolute bargain when you consider that having one fabricated as a one off was quoted around the $250AUS mark.

The next thing is that Maxim are shipping me a free 'sample' MAX7219CNG+ chip, so that saves around $20AUS.

Also I sent off an email to XNDR from machinecollective.org enquiring about some different enclosures for my arduinome so hopefully i will have some nice pictures of potential enclosures to post up soon!
