I've been contemplating doing something similar jaydee... I've got a lot of 1" thick plexi and some 1/8" copper plate. Since I have no real mill (just a drill press and an X/Y vise) milling the lips in the plexi would be pretty easy, and I could set the depth differently for the lips for the memory, so they stick out further, or not as far as the card requires. Plus, as you've said, it would be really light.
