This is how it can look, you can powder coat it in colours as well,

That looks very cool but unfortunately it has to look as inconspicuous as possible. The nicer it looks the more interesting it would be to "misplace" after it was installed on site.

I have emailed RS Components and PI Factory and waiting on replies.

I suggest standard case with a screw on bracket covering the sdcard. We use that for our brightsign players

That was one of the first suggestions but management feels it should be completely covered. This way if someone doesn't see the card, they won't know it's present, then there might not be the urge to "misplace" the card. The micro sd card fits nicely into cellphones. Hence the reason for a complete enclosure. I'll most probably end up having to approach a company to have them made up.

Or something like this : http://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P0847376847. The card will not extend out of the case

Mr. Imranpanji, sir, I think you might just be onto something there. I'll call communica today. I think there is a branch in Woodstock and if they have it stock then I'll pop around tomorrow. Getting that little piece should be much easier than trying to get a complete case.

Ci20 board has been released if anyone is intrested in it.
Marketing it as more powerful than the Raspberry pi.

Not sure if posted yet, but looks cool.

Has anyone setup Darkice on a Raspberry Pi, to stream audio to an Icecast server? I'll be using a 3rd pary Icecast server, but need to setup the client side from where the audio will be streamed.
Any tips or guides will be appreciated. I have a Raspberry Pi Model B (first version, not Pi 2), and ordered a usb sound card.

Heya guys!
Has anyone bought from Netram Technologies? Any thoughts? I want to get a Model B (256RAM) from them to start off my PiProjects with minial investment.
Any news would be a huge plus. Thanks!

Sicne they have moved to CT I've had trouble with my orders. I waited a bit over a month for them to ort out my order which they kept messing up. They also forgot to add some tensioner springs to my order and never got back to me after numerious emails.
Found I was constantly calling them to chase up with them since I never got phoned back. Just doesnt feel the same as the company that I dealt with a few years back... I use to order a lot of stuff from them.. not anymore.
http://za.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/832-6274/ is where I would get one.

My brother and myself ordered from them a lot, until they forgot to send him some R30 part with a larger order. After numerous emails, he never got the item or the refund, and we're not supporting them anymore.
It may just be an isolated case, though.
Sounds like my experience as of late... I've switched to rs components and diy electronics and a couple of 3d printing site

Do RS still do their magnificent paper catalogue? Worth every cent!

Totally. Looking through that catalogue was like a kid looking through a toy shop catalogue for me.
I've recently done a couple more things with my Pi, not sure which of these I've mentioned before.
I made an account with duckdns.org to get a fixed name for my home IP, they have Pi specific instructions for installing the updating script and are free.
I changed my SSH port to 443 to limit bots trying to get in to my Pi and forwarded 443 from my Pi to the internet.
I learned how to easily set-up a SOCKS proxy from anywhere through an SSH tunnel on my Pi. All the Pi needs is to be accessible over the internet and the rest is done automatically. To connect to the proxy you set up a dynamic SSH tunnel from your PC (I'm running Ubuntu, the command is [ SSH -C -D local_port username@pi_ip_addess
i_port ]. local_port can be whatever you like. Then you set up your SOCKS supporting browser (Firefox in my case) to point to 127.0.0.1 and local_port. You are then browsing completely securely, even if you're on unsecured WiFi or at work. If you forward your DNS queries as well then no-one will be able to track what you do.
I'm also behind a firewall and a proxy at work so to be able to SSH out I needed to use a program called corkscrew which you can get through apt and edit my client's .ssh/config file to use corkscrew. The general syntax is [ ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy_ip proxy_port %h %p ]
