Yes, I see what you mean. Cut neat hole, glue it in., Though it would 
better, and probably equally possible, to make a sort of box out of 0.4mm 
epoxy board that socket 5 is a push-fit in. Gluing a nut to the top of 
the 'box' to take an M3 nylon screw would let you screw it down to anchor 
the socket against the forces needed to push a plug in and remove it.

Yes, exactly so. There probably aren't any custom cases for the RPi and 
disk, but some packaging can be made into a nice enclosure. I have a nice 
octagonal clear plastic box (110mm across, 70mm deep) that used to 
contain Mozartkugeln. This winter I intend to mount my RPi in it with the 
aid of a bit of 0.8mm epoxy board and a few nylon screws. You just need 
to keep eyes open for suitable boxes, or of course you can knock one 
together from epoxyboard and/or Perspex.
