raspberry pi case

e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

Hi, I'm looking for some cheap raspberry pi cases but don't know which website to trust. I live in belgium.

If you're good with a Dremel tool or equivalent, Craig French has managed to fit a RasPi into an Altoids tin/box. He has links to photos.

I'll let others make their own recommendations. I use an open-frame vertical mount which provides natural convection cooling for both sides of the board. I have a rev 1.0 RasPi so the LAN9512 gets pretty warm otherwise.

Hi Ather

I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-PI-Box-Transparent-Clear/dp/B008TCUXLW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355319176&sr=8-2

and also one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390510265507

Very pleased with both and prefer them over the more expensive one that I have for my 3rd pi.

Steve

I tested out one of our Multicomp cases and it did the job well - it's transparent rather than tinted like it looks in the picture:

It also comes in black and white.

Hello Ather, if you are seeking a good quality case without the need for modifications then you need to see these: http://shop-cyntech-co-uk.myshopify.com/collections/all in the USA, you can view the same cases at: http://shop-cyntechgroup-com/myshopify.com/collections/all

These are well built and come in four colors. They use superior plastic than others - no fracturing or cracking when putting them together.
