Well, the plexiglass case was custom-made by a shop with a laser cutter. As for the hardware:

* Each of the Stagecoach boards needs 7 Gumstix boards. Anything in the Overo line should work.
* The switch is just an 8-port Netgear. Remove the board from the switch case in order to save space and make for easier mounting.
* The power supply is the toughest part. Each Stagecoach board needs a 5V 3.5A power input. I believe they went with a ham radio power supply of some kind.
It was fully modular. The stagecoach boards simply stand in little slots cut into the plexi case, so you just unplug the power + ethernet to pull out the board. Once you've done that, it's easy to swap out the individual Gumstix nodes. The switch is just held on under the boards by a couple case screws.
