But that would do nothing towards making it truly LEGO electric compatible; coming up
with a suitable compartment for the motherboard that leaves room for the expansion
board, even if it's not actually connected yet; leaving the display and infrared
transmitter/receiver visible; keeping the user control knob easily accessible, and
other hurdles, I'm sure.

Ultimately, a custom case would probably need to be made for it.  I seriously doubt
that one could homebrew such a case out of regular LEGO parts unless they could do
some extensive machining on plastic.  I, for one, do not own any such equpment.
