Everyone, We need a large display case for some ENIAC/Univac artifacts. We have a few display cases that are waist-high. But we need something taller in order to show more artifacts without using more floor space. The ideal case would have a black exterior, adjustable shelves, lights for each shelf, mirrored back panel, and locking door. It would be four feet wide, a foot or two deep, and maybe chest height. That's asking a lot... we can probably take something simpler and add our own mirrors, lock, etc. Anybody have something that might work or know where we could get something inexpensive? I'm not above converting a bookcase or using Craigslist. New ones are quite expensive. (Don't just bring something in, we need to see it first...)
I can keep an eye on the VT Surplus Auction. Stuff like that comes up all the time, and usually goes pretty cheap. No one wants it. Half the time you're only bidding against the scrap guy, or the guy who will buy anything for $2.50. Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks, if you can deliver! :) We could paint it black, install our own mirrors, possibly install LED lights (most of the lighted cases I saw online only have a single set of bulbs on top, which wouldn't do much for artifacts on lower shelves). So basically our minimum requirements are a solid frame with adjustable shelves (we could install our own shelves, too, as long as the frame has hardware for it), doors, and it can't be some beat-up POS.
