Maybe not important for GEN1 but definitely for GEN2.
Maybe a transparent box so we can see the board, something similar to this Raspberry Pi case: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/05/29/raspberry-pi-case-preview/ (In this case I want the circuit board personally signed by John since I will be able to view the signature through the transparent case) :-) As an alternative, I guess I could always build one myself with lego: http://www.thedailybrick.co.uk/lego-sets/custom/lego-custom-raspberry-pi-case.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
