When you said composite molding my mind ran to heavy glass mat fibreglass boats.

If you work in a place which does glass microfibre molding then it would be great if you want to tool up a case, I'm sure you get some buyers here.

I want to keep the weight down because I'll be using copper on the TEC and adding a heatsink fan, so the lighter the case the better. Perhaps Steve could share his drawings of the case. Why not PM him and ask, you might uncover a US market for the case as well. PM him at the Cloudy Nights thread.
Thanks for the ideas.
