Raspberry Pi Model B Cases?

Wwessex over 13 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a case for the Model B?

The case for my first Raspberry Pi will be handmade from wood. Probably bocote. You can have a look at this:

To get an idea of how it will look.

Of course, the cost of wood + labour will be way more than that of the Pi.

I really want Marco's case. I'm under the impression, though, that no one is 100% certain if his design will fit a real-world Pi yet. Am I right on this?

Yes, I too like the look of Marco's design, and look forward to it going into production.

As you say though, I don't think that he has been able to get hold of an actual production model yet (hardly surprising really!) to check it all out.

I have a "Can Safe" which looks like a can of beans but would make a very nice case.
It would certainly be a better use than hiding your valuables because it is slightly taller than a standard Heinz beans tin, has a plastic base, rattles and has a label that hasn't been used for years. :-)

Not sure I'm rushing to get a case. I would like to see what the expansion boards are going to look like.
I guess it will be somewhat archaistic environment with no preferred form factor for expansion boards ??

I think I have an external hard disk drive case lying around, which I may be able to adapt / use.
These can be bought cheaply.

Not unusual for electronic projects that the case and power supply / batteries cost more than the electronics.
