Pi-Server has a case. Sort of


I happened to have some transparent plastic around, salvaged from a water bath that was no longer needed, so I made this.  It's not the neatest job in the world, but it keeps the dust off and is well ventilated.  I did intend from the outset to leave a small gap at the top, it's not evidence of poor measuring leading to insufficient room for the USB flash drives..

Pi-Server Update

Still haven't made a cover for it, but I did  buy a couple of Sandisk Cruzer Slice USB flash drives - 64GB each.  With their outer covers removed they will fit into the USB ports of the Raspberry Pi, and are able to store all my music between them with a few Gigs left over - plus whatever's free on the SD card.  No moving parts, no laser modules to fail and all controllable from a handy little remote, a tablet PC, smartphone or anything that will run a web browser.
