I'm interested in buying an assembled external midi kit for the atari 2600 and i'm curious if you have any suggestions as to what kind of box will fit the device nicely? Or do you offer any box to protect the exposed circuit?
The MIDI2600-External is rather robust, and doesn't necessarily need an enclosure if it's not going to be moved around frequently.
There is no enclosure for sale--sorry. If you'd like to build an enclosed MIDI2600, it's probably best to get the MIDI2600-Internal instead. The reason is that the external version comes with all PCB-mounted connectors, which may be difficult to wire remotely (off the PCB--for example, on a panel).
There is an enclosure design complete with parts list here:
http://highlyliquid.com/kits/midi2600/diy-enclosure.html
...again, the enclosure is designed for use with the internal version of the kit, not the external.
If you'd like to build something from scratch, this thread may be helpful:

Hope this helps--please let me know if I can provide more information.
