RadioShack project boxes - 4"x2"x1" or 3"x2"x1". Easy to use, easy to get (assuming your local RS hasn't closed).
Marlin P Jones has quite a few different boxes these are the die cast boxes, Here are the extruded They have various other electronic components and tools as well.
I keep coming back to a simple 9-volt battery box from Radio Shack/Madvapes/etc....Called the Stealthy DNA...... here is just one DNA30 build......size compared to a 30ml. bottle and a standard sized BIC lighter....
Uses one turnigy nano-tech 1200mah 1s 15c round lipo....

Wow. Thats nice. small and compact. How long does 1200mah last with a dna30???? I'm guessing you vape at a fairly low wattage.
I usually get 8 to 10 hours vaping at 8.4 watts and the battery still doesn't reached cutoff but I just plug in the charger and grab another ( I have several of these in DNA20 and DNA30 configuration).....I use only 3 ohm cartomisers in my tanks.....after about 8 months of recharging I replace the battery with a fresh one...the only reason I went to the DNA30 was to get the "power lock" feature which the DNA20 did not have...I've never vaped at anything above 10 watts..
The 9v stealth DNA mod was Breaktru's test mod before dna hit markets for its history he was a beta tester.
Its a really cool mod.
He has the ups and downs of it coming together, it was not up to specs at 1st, its a good read.. He has the build pictures in the post..

Yep....breaktru built the first stealthy using the round battery...I built the first stealthy using the flat lipo battery and mamu built a stealthy too...all three made improvements on the stealthy along the way....noted that breaktru used the 9 volt battery enclosure on previous mods and he was the first to use the 9volt enclosure....
You can search the battery mod forum for threads started by breaktru, mamu, and retird and see all the mod threads of the stealthy (dna) and others...many of the threads are closed but you can read them....
Here is a few of mine...

NOTE: the picture I posted earlier is yet another version using a round battery but being able to place the screen and buttons on the front instead of the side....

Thanks for the links and information guys, I've got some reading to do. I have 5 chips right now, two DNA20 and three DNA30. I was gonna sell the DNA20 chips then I figured I use them as the learning curve. 
I can always unload them built or give one to family or something.
The electronics part of it doesn't confuse me at all. I'm "techy" and have been using soldering irons and modding stuff since I was a kid (a long time ago, anybody remember piggybacking ram chips on top of each other? or programming eeproms with bios files? LOL), its the cutting and make it look pretty part that's hard for me. Plus I'm a big guy and have big hands and a touch of arthritis... One of the boxes I bought to build a mod out of from FastTech (ruinovo I think it is) is absolutely gorgeous but its a sealed enclosure so mounting the chip or more specifically the screen is going to be TOUGH.

Yeah, its the ruinovo. I think Mamu even said it was going to be a hard build and she decided against using it, so it may never be a mod, just a pretty powerbank.
Thanks retird, love reading the history of our hobby. Boards- enclosures- methods- etc.
Impressive to say the least on your flat builds, wow...
