Hi all,
Been a while since I last posted, still waiting on my pi but since it is due early next month (fingers crossed, touch wood) I thought I'd start looking into all the bits I'd need.
Was looking at different case designs (closed, open) and stumbled across these on ebay, just wondered what everyone thought?

Figured this would make a good open case (holder really) and £3.32 delivered, not bad?

This one might make an interesting project, maybe gut a USB charger and put the internals along with the pi to make a wall wart pi?
Haven't checked the dimensions in detail yet, did a quick search but couldn't see a definate set of measurements? (I'm sure they must be around, had a look on the wiki but it said none available yet.. http://elinux.org/RPi_Documentation#Pro ... 2012_Q1.29:)
PCB holder and Wall wart case, thoughts?

Your first link is to a bit of kit that's been posted a few times in the thread "Securing a Pi in a case", seems like quite a good solution. The housing in the second link is too small, the Pi needs a minimum of 58mm width internal space to fit.

it won't got lengthwise as
a) the SD card is in the way
b) the size is just too short with the sping unit in.
sideways the unit is OK but off centre as the HDMI socket is in the way ....
but it works

Thanks for taking the time to let me know and screenshot
Mine is on the way, good to know it fits sideways at least.
