Purchased a Tempus_Fugit_Nixus Nixie Clock from dbumbaca on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nixie-clock-six-digits-with-12-24-hr-disp-not-a-kit-Ready-to-display/283345358345?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649), but wanted a case, as the electronics are showing and there is always a risk of shock if you touch it wrong.
I wanted to be able to cover the bottom and back without covering the tubes, but also be able to tip the clock into the case, so the front "walls" are perhaps a little shorter than desired. I also left a cutout in back so you can plug in power and also reach the buttons for the clock. There's also risers built in so the circuit board is a little suspended.
One item of note, there are jumper pins on the right of the clock - originally i spaced the box to make room for them, but it made the clock off center to the eye. I took needle nose pliers and gently bent the pins upward, as you can see in the photo. For myself, I probably will not use the jumpers, but ymmv.
