Case for RDTC board v6.3

Today I finished soldering my RDTC board and started to wire up the Heatermeter and add the rocker switch to choose from internal vs. external TC pit probe.
Is there a case design available for using the board standalone (w/o attaching it to a damper)? I found one for the v5 version of the board, made by Dan: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?57901-Heatermeter-Aux-Thermocouple-And-two-probe-board-V6-1(Final-Version)&p=649080&viewfull=1#post649080
But I did not find a case for the v6.3 version. What I like about Dan's case is the possibility to attach it to the leg of a BGE. I sold my weber kettle (http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?61934-First-cook-w-servo-mounted-to-Weber-kettle) and bought a BGE lately. The weber kettle was not made for low 'n slow cooks in german winters :-)

Thanks,
Thomas.
 
I've cooked low n slow over night in my Weber kettle in Chicago winters. I believe it was around 10-15*F and windy. I had the slow n sear insert installed. Worked fine. Cold isn't really the problem. Wind is.

I used the minion ring/ snake method with 3-4 layers. Once I had to add to the ring mid cook. Because of the bad insulation, you need more briquettes in winter to maintain the right temperature.

But in terms of wind I cannot compete with the Windy City :-) This is a problem if it comes to hold the setpoint, not the length of the cook?
