There are actually some pictures of the prototype in the photos
section under "magic box".  

1. it will be no bigger than the DTX box, possibly smaller (smaller
box = smaller PCB saves cost).  Shape will be similar, and similar
thickness.

2. I have not planned to match the colour and exact shape.  The case
is likely to be plastic.  If volumes were high enough (1000+) then I
could get a custom made case in metal in the right colours, but for
the small volumes I anticipate it needs to be made from readily
available parts.

3. It requires external power.  I hope that can be included in the
cost.  It needs 24DC <100mA.

4. No special mounting has been planned.  It has rubber feet so I have
just plonked it on top of the DTXpress box.  Any suggestions
appreciated (with one eye on cost).

5. no, you read the post perfectly, I just didn't include sufficient
information.
