Project enclosure with provisions for 16x2 lcd.
I was hoping someone could share a link to any project enclosures that have provisions for mounting a 16x2 lcd in them.
I know it wouldn't be hard to just carve/dremel something out of a generic project enclosure, but was hoping to find something with a bit more polished look to it.

Currently working on an enclosure myself, and I drilled/jig-sawed out a spot for the LCD display, and sealed it with a sheet of clear polycarbonate. If you need it to be waterproof, you can use a gasket to seal any gaps that may form between the polycarbonate and the electrical box.
Here is a picture - excuse the holes, pilot lights aren't in yet.
It's definitely not PanelView levels of quality, however it's aesthetically pleasing enough for me.

(I would recommend searching for a scratch-proof version of this. This scratches VERY easily like a phone screen does)
