This is the Arduino Mega TinkerBox DeLuxe-Special!
No, that's not it, but it's a tinkerbox of some sorts. This will fit a ENC28J60 (more or less this one: http://www.dx.com/p/enc28j60-spi-rj45-ethernet-scm-development-board-module-deep-blue-320160#.Vztg-mNiPU4), a Arduino Mega or Uno board. It's made specifically for the Mega, but I think the Uno will fit too. It comes with a click-on lid.
Also there is a space in the front for a two row LCD (http://www.dx.com/p/16-x-2-character-lcd-display-module-with-blue-backlight-121356#.VzthPmNiPU4).
On the back there are also two holes to fit DB9 plugs. I like to use DB9 as a common plug to fit peripherals and/or sensors. Currently I use this box fitted for a Home Domotic solution with some LDR's and a tree with LED lights but you can think of other things too.
The last mount in the back is for a button of a bout 5mm x 12mm. I have a reset button installed in it. As a final note, I haven't checked out the DB9 mount sizes yet! They could be off a bit! Network and Arduino should fit like a glove though.
There are a lot of Arduino Cases out there, but I haven't seen anything which addressed my issue, which is multiple components in one housing, or I just didn't look hard enough, enjoy :)

DB9 ports were a little to small, also made the mounting holes a little higher and added some real pictures of what I did to it, MUAHAHA!
Added scad file too, if you are interested :)
