    you can just draw out dimensions on paper :)

    It'd say it's 3 CD jewel cases long, a little more than 2 wide and 3 thick.

    "Cubit is the name for any one of many units of measure used by various ancient peoples. The natural cubit is based on the distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person. It was employed consistently (for example, to measure originally cords and textiles) through the Middle-Ages up to the Early Modern Times. The natural cubit measures 24 digits or 6 palms. This is about 45 cm or 18 inches (1.50 ft)."

    Gotta love wikipedia.com. :)
