Open to suggestions !

So here's the new clock.  For years I've been inclined to enclose my clock in acrylic boxes or tubes.  After seeing Paul's new clock I think it's time to try another idea,  I was also thinking of painting the zinc coated 2" stand-offs to flat black too.

Please send me an idea or two for the best enclosure for my odd little vertical clock.  Dimensions are 8" tall, 2" deep, 2.5" wide.  The controller board (lower left of pic) is 3.5 x 1.75.

The lowest level will have +/- Nixies and the photo resistor.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

I'd be tempted to cut the bottom off of a largish bottle and place it inside.

Similarly, you could use the cone from a dead CRT.

Find something like this glass dome clock - this clock doesn't work and the dome measures approx. 28cm high and 14cm diameter... :)

I buy these old digital analog clocks at Good-Will  Sally-Ann  etc. shops and repurpose just like this to hold my own clocks.  Easy, to do and cost little to buy  - I pay $7-10 for one, remove all the guts and just use the glass dome and base.  Small controllers may actually fit into the base with only a few lines connected to the visible clock.
