I'm thinking of using an old router body to house the components decently.

Also, the wheels are temporary - i made a mistake when ordering them, and only noticed when they arrived by mail... then i saw they were way too small... so i just attatched the cardboard wheels, since they where the easiest to attach i could think of... (CDs are better, but would be harder to attach)
