    Time to think about the encloseure of the pPi.

    First idea and first test (always neat :D:thumb:), use black foam board. But it seems complicate (Because I don't like Maths)

    I like the USB hub mounted on top keeps the form factor nice and small.
    One day I'll get around to building a case for mine haha

    That looks really good. To be honest my only suggestion would be to move the power input to the rear to improve the cabling of things. I know you can't physically move this port, could you achieve something similar with a micro USB extension cable run inside the case to a point on the rear

    Edit.
    I'm an idiot that has just woken up, it was the audio port I was looking at. You've moved the power. D'oh.

    Cool thing :)
    You made me thinking of buying a Raspberry Pi too. How does it perform? I would use itnas a media centre...

    thks for ypur support. I bought RasPi 6 mounths ago and there were no correct distribution for media center or only slow and very complicate OS based on Openelec. Since few weeks, Rasbmc is operationnal, easy to install, auto updating via internet and is just the fastest and the easier way to do a media center on Raspi; for my opinion. It s fluid and reactive. Have you see my video & music test?

    Great job! The only problem about the USB hubs is that if you plug some device that is a wider than normal, it's impossible to plug any more thing... ^^'
