I think that the finished mod will be extremely popular and a lot of knowledgeable modders are gonna have a hay-day building these....but unless there's a ready-made enclosure, building one is gonna be a huge challenge.
Yeah probably true...but if you build your own who do you blame when it goes south?
I bet there will be one on Shapeways and Sculpteo in no time at all after the release
Hopefully soon some one will have a decent looking enclosure for it on Shapeways
forget about the shapeways,
I'm going to start modelling
when I figure out the lipo specs & dimensions =)
Nice you can count on me buying one
especially if it's nice and small like the test mod 
My dicodes runs at max 40w since I'm suing 1 x 18650. It heats up very quickly even with 0.4mm titanium. I don't think you need realistically anything above 50w unless you're running something like claptons. What's next after 200w? 400?

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Bap has one ready...or any other beta tester with CAD ability?

You don't...they show up in the classifieds.
I agree, forget about printed...
Here's a really cool tutorial for resin casting:
Resin Casting: Going from CAD to Engineering-Grade Plastic Parts | Make:
I found it when shopping for a milling machine.
I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of making the board 200w capable. It's surely not because they expect that the majority of users will be using that much power. It seems to me that they are responding the the current market demands. There are a lot of people who would love to use a DNA 40, but there just isn't enough power for them. They are making one board that can do everything. I vape at 18-22w on mesh almost exclusively, but I'm very excited about this board all the same. I very rarely will drip at around 50w if the mood strikes me, and this board can do that. If I ever feel like vaping at 200w (unlikely), this is a board that can grow with me, do whatever I'll ever need it to do. That is exciting! Just because you don't want 200w does not mean that this board will not perform just as well at much lower power settings.
You are wrong, and you should not continue down this track.
It would power up and run at lower wattages fine, but it would run out of amp capacity very quickly.
Another thought: Has anyone stopped to consider the lower current draw this board will need to produce the same amount of power as 1s configuration? That's a definite plus in my book.
This has implications as far as the transport wiring on the input side, as well as battery life at lower wattages. It has definite plusses.
Evolv's datasheets are very detailed, unlike YiHi's. I have successfully designed enclosures of my own with the dimensions they've provided for earlier boards; I expect the same level of detail will be released for the DNA200 and designing an enclosure shouldn't be anymore difficult than for earlier DNA boards. You will see enclosures in a matter of a few weeks (if not days) from CAD enabled folks once we get our hands on the datasheet.
lol I mean the source,
I made my 3d print debut with an 26650 dna40
and I think it's easier to design a box when you have a fixed complete face
(and without battery contacts when using lipo )
I'm not against the lipo vs li-ion talk but it's beyond the dna200 & should have it's own thread imo
it's killing the buzz
I wonder if there is a way to go into the software and make the board capable of running of a 1s pack up to 60w or so. Is the software customizable in a LINUX sort of way, or in a beefed up EVIC sort of way?
