A Place To Buy Robot Cases?

Hi Mates, I'm a very bad fabricator and have been scouring the web for a robot case that would look nice in a contemporary high tech office / home and can't find anyone who sells cool looking robot cases.

Hello I'm new to EZ-Robot. I have been on the boards for some time but just recently purchased 3 EZ-B4 boards. I have been playing with them and cant get a servo to a darn thing.
