Enclosures/cases for OEM sensors - DIY or bought

My 'collection' of EOM type sensors seems to growing lately. This has led to think about the cases again (after nudging from SWMBO). They are cased up in various plastic boxes, some recycled from old electronic gadgets, some in the usual project boxes, some in the lovely Evatron cases and even some just 'naked'. It strikes me that a nice, fairly cheap, enclosure would make them look batter and give them a uniform look and feel.

So, I was wondering what cases others have used/made/found?

I've used these, with moderate tolerance from the distaf side of the family.

Yes, that's a clone of the Evatron sensor case. I have some of the genuine ones. It's pretty much perfect apart from the cost of £4 + postage. My DIY EOM sensors cost about £6 each, so if I could buy those cases for £1 I'd use them, but when the plastic case costs almost as much as a pile of electronics it puts me off them somewhat.
