Sorry Philip, this is USA only, but give the other BIG Box a try.

Hey all the goodies are in your back yard. Besides shipping to the Phillippines can't take a month from China or does it.

Please add me to the list. I've got a bunch of things I can contribute to the box. I'm in Seattle.

Box is on its way to buzzdavidson!

Here's what I took:

Schazamp's mini chip amp boards
AA battery pack
FTDI Friend
Screw terminal blocks

Here's what I added:
Fiber cables
TI MSP430 USB Dev Stick
PCBs I made for a NTP based nixie clock
Key lock switch
IN-1 nixie (I have one more but I couldn't track it down)
IV-18 nixie
colored ribbon cable
[attachment=1]

I put the nixie and vfd in a smaller box with bubble wrap hoping that it survives.  Sadly though, I did need to remove a LED board to make things fit.  If someone wants it let me know and we can arrange shipping it.

I think we're gonna need a bigger box!  Tango25, pm me your address, I'll try to get the box moving again quickly.  I've got all kinds of goodies to go in the box.  Chankster, do you have schematics or more details on your Nixie board?  I will probably be snagging one of those.  I've got a small hoard of nixies, some of which will be finding their way into the box.

Here's the eagle files for the board.  Be nice since it was the first board I've ever had fabbed :D

Chankster,
What is the housing or case made of? Looks like a brick.

Concrete!  Used that pink foam sheeting to make a form, chicken wire reinforcement, pvc pipe pieces to keep the openings, and a jig with wooden dowels to keep the pvc pipe holes in the right spot.

Ooh, count me in! I'm in middle-north Alabama. I'm a little low on "awesome" stuff right now, but I'm sure I can find something neat to chip in.

One thing's certain - its probably the most rugged nixie clock case I've seen!

I was thinking about getting some concrete sanding pads and polishing it down smooth.  Need to look into it more since I havent ever done anything like it.
