<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>There's not a lot of case options available for the MinnowBoard Max yet so I thought I'd share with the list what I am using. <br><br>Using a Dremel I modded a case that was made for the Raspberry Pi. <br><br>This is the case I used: <br><a href="http://www.budind.com/blog/2014/07/flexibility-in-enclosures-as-in-buds-raspberry-pi-sandwich-enclosure/" target="_blank">http://www.budind.com/blog/2014/07/flexibility-in-enclosures-as-in-buds-raspberry-pi-sandwich-enclosure/</a><br><br>I think I purchased it from Sparkfun a few years ago (not sure). It wasn't popular because it didn't do a very good job of supporting the Pi, but it was cheap at around $10 and I found it useful enough for experimenting with on a work bench. It could support two Pi's when the case was separated. <br><br>Basically I just used the Dremel to cut off all of the Pi support tabs on one half of the case and then velcroed an SSD drive to it. The MAX has a plastic standoff inserted into each corner which is then Velcro'd to the top of the SSD. These standoffs were popular in the 80's\90's for supporting computer motherboards and fortunately I still have a few scattered around my junk drawer. Also, I am using industrial strength Velcro, which once stuck to a surface, is almost permanent the stuff is so strong.<br><br>Here are some pics to give you a better idea (My Picasa links): <br><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1Liy5QCjEiA/VBjrt_7gQGI/AAAAAAAADfs/PUP-eSm1L0w/s720/WP_20140916_18_58_43_Pro.jpg" target="_blank">https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1Liy5QCjEiA/VBjrt_7gQGI/AAAAAAAADfs/PUP-eSm1L0w/s720/WP_20140916_18_58_43_Pro.jpg</a><br><br><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-j48uotyhq-4/VBjruABbS7I/AAAAAAAADfs/u2qar5ciTPs/s720/WP_20140916_18_59_09_Pro.jpg" target="_blank">https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-j48uotyhq-4/VBjruABbS7I/AAAAAAAADfs/u2qar5ciTPs/s720/WP_20140916_18_59_09_Pro.jpg</a><br><br><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22rCPr0sKIU/VBSmiOhhknI/AAAAAAAADd4/M04zFPuoFS0/s640/IMG_20140913_131549.jpg" target="_blank">https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22rCPr0sKIU/VBSmiOhhknI/AAAAAAAADd4/M04zFPuoFS0/s640/IMG_20140913_131549.jpg</a><br><br>It's not a permanent solution and might not survive well if tossed across the room, but it's good enough for experimenting with. All in all it took about 20-30 minutes to make.<br><br>If you have come up with a case idea for the MAX please share.<br><br><br>Tim<br> </div></body>
