[Arm-netbook] microdesktop casework as DXF files for laser-cutting

[Mark Van den Borre]

Luke,

First thing will be building a 3d model of the board using FreeCAD. Not
very easy to do accurately with the info I currently have. More photos and
dimensional information would certainly be welcome!

I'll keep this list in the loop.

Kind regards,

Mark
