Production case WILL include a GPIO Cable Port!

July 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Enough people were requesting a port for a GPIO cable off the header pins that I figured I may as well go ahead and add it. The case design actually lends itself very well to the port, and it should be very easy to install and remove (Port functions... (Read More)

Since I don't really have a good video describing the case itself, I thought it fitting to to do a quick tour of the case in Sketchup. I followed up the video by printing myself a case in red... and I must say... right now, red has my vote; it looks... (Read More)

5V Fan Supplier!

June 24th - via: kickstarter.com
