Hi David
My first choice would be the Fire-i Board Mono Camera due to the fact that the camera is going to be more sensitive then the bayer colour camera and when used with RGB filters you will be imaging in full resolution in each of the primary colours. Remember, an 8 bit monochrome camera will produce 256 level of grey, and when combined with RGB filters it make a difference. The colour camera would be my second choice.
As for case you don't need one, the board is open to the air which is good for cooling and secondly it is fitted with standard lens base of M12x0.5. Mogg Adaptors sells a universal web cam adapter which fits this lens base. The funny thing is, it is the sameone that will fit the Phillips SPC 900NC camera.
If we take the cost of the Fire-i Board Mono camera at $277 ex GST plus a manual filter wheel it should come to about +$800 not bad considering I paid $1400 for my Lumanera LU075C and I think the DMK sell for about +/-$800.
