Perfect ABS Plastic Server Enclosure from Radio Shack

[MarkHaysHarris777]

   

I began casing my ubuntu PineA64 board(B) tonight using the Radio Shack ABS enclosure;  in the pic above I have chosen to use the optional ABS plastic lid and have begun to install the board mounting hardware and the 5v brushless fan which will be employed to keep things very cool indeed.

You will note the 3M x30mm bolts are the same ones that it has stood upon for weeks now; also, note the transistor (2N2222) motor speed controller hardware, fastened to the top panel with electrical tape.

I used a blob of fast dry modeling glue on each fan mount; to keep the nuts from coming loose and dropping down on the pine board. The PineA64 board(B) will hang from its mounting hardware with the power filter and battery in the bottom enclosure and all cables running out the rear bezel.

   

The close-in above details the mounting hardware and the fan motor-speed controller circuit connections.

   

When the 'lid bezel' is inverted the assembly will drop into the bottom ABS enclosure. Note the system LED which will protrude through the front bottom enclosure bezel. The board sits about two-thirds of the way into the bottom enclosure allowing space for the power passive filter, wiring, and connectors.
