RaspberryPi cases, buy or DIY.

[wily me]

Now that I received mine it's time to play. I will do a DIY but the case below deserves a second look. I think of getting one. IMHO this one is of the best I have seen and deserves a thread starter.

All nice.

Myself and a few colleagues are getting this one made locally.

Looks cool - how much is it costing you?

[Mr.Jax]

It works out to about R30-R35 for the material and R80 per minute for the laser cutting.
Will let you know when we've had the materials cut how much it cost in the end.

That's a bit subjective? they could play with their software to make the cutting take an hour, surely?

I concur.
So in short you want it to be under 2 minutes... anything more and it more than justifies either a) DIY or b) plastic enclosure from ModMyPi.

Where, what, when? Picture please.

I tried one out of fake lego version blocks but was not impressed. Will rather make one out of an Alum block or something else original.

oops ! Sorry !

The colours are too close to the gay pride flag for me

I'm going to go for this one

Made mine out of lots of leftover lego - up and running - now to configure sabnzbd and sickbeard

I wonder how many decades it's going to take to extract a 1080p video

LOL - yeah - fortunately it pretty much runs in the background

Hey Mr Jax, Any luck with the case and costing?
