RuneAudio Forum

Anyone know a good case that will fit raspberry pi and iqaudio dac+, I'm willing to desoldering the RCA.

Love this one but it's not the + and the dac is smaller.



Any ideeas?

I've moved this into the more appropriate "DIY and tweaks" forum.

Some people are using this case. http://m.ebay.com/itm/221592785950?nav=SEARCH
Its just big enough to fit the pi and a power supply inside. Its not " plug and play" though, you will need to drill/cut holes for the usb ports etc.
Dunno if thats the sort of thing that you are looking for but there you go.

Looks like that model B case is from Emko, they also do a B+ case that looks like this:

It would be worth checking how much room is above the Pi board to see if the DAC will fit, as it looks pretty compact!

Thanks looks nice but unfortunately I don't own any CNC or know someone two cut out the connectors for rasbpi. I think I want something precut for the mainboard but I can drill two holes for the RCA-connectors.

Yep, that's the thing I'm worried about they say 31mm heigh, don't know if you will fit even if you have chassi RCA?

I like the look of that Emko case. Does anyone know of any UK resellers? It seems a bit crazy to pay \euro23 for shipping directly from Emko when the case only costs \euro12.

This guy has cheaper shipping to UK. 5dollar.

If you buy it can you please post som picture and info.

Thanks jonas, I'll look into it. (I've noticed a bit of hum in my system recently and I figure perhaps a grounded metal box might be better than the plastic one I have now...) If I get it I'll post some pictures.

Love this case, don't know if it would fit ........... http://www.adafruit.com/products/2198




Not that cheap at $ 50, but looks V nicely made

Since the original Pi-DAC+ case from IQaudIO is a little too clunky from my point of view, I fiddled around with the Pibow from Pimorony. With a little tweaking the Pi-DAC+ fits very good (after cutting the mounting hole on the RCA jack):




Since the Pibow case is a little limited in height, two identical cases were combined (Pibow Ninja).

Edit: sorry, didn't realize that you are looking for a metal case.
