Pi Bow - the most fun body for the Raspberry Pi

Many have heard about the Rapberry Pi. This is a mini computer, mainly for educational purposes. The architecture is completely open, based on ARM, runs on Linux, very active support for fans developing their Linux distributions and various hardware extensions. The price of pleasure - 35 British pounds, or about 1,800 rubles.

Habré had a lot of posts about RPi, so now a little about that. Alas, the RPi board has one design feature - it does not have holes for screws, so its fasteners in any case becomes a small problem (the authors promised to fix this in the next model). Of course, inquiring minds of fans have long invented ways to fasteners, and now we are talking about just one of these cases. This case is very unusual in construction, and you will soon see why.

For a start, some pics about how RPi is delivered. Everything is very simple.











So, the body. It is called Pibow . It costs 12 pounds (~ 600 rubles), of course, not the lowest price for a plastic box, but it's worth it.

Want to appreciate the coolness of the device?

So, it came:



Construction details:



Getting layered "the introduction of magnesia":





After the first two layers, we attach the RPi board (remember that its design
does not have holes for the rack):



Next in the layers:















We take the screws, nuts and key ...



Vuyalya, the device assembly:













To be honest - I love the Raspberry Pi. It is difficult to imagine a device for schools and even institutes as an educational tool. With him, perhaps, unless Maximite , if we are talking about a more “irony” work.

Prior to this, my "body" for the RPi from SK Pang looked like this:



Awesome handy thing when you need to have quick access to a general purpose port (GPIO), but Pibow is uncompromising like a regular case.

Funny, when I collected Pibow, I, of course, did not read the instructions, and therefore did not tear the protective white film from the panels. The author Pibow, answering my tweet, politely indicated that removing the film, I will make the device much nicer. So, the final version:
