Read through the thread... I documented with many pics throughout...
Yea, I built my own case while waiting for the playbox to arrive also out of a takeout food container... it was very incognito. The screen mounted to the top side of it even allowing the lid to be attached to the container. The Pine was mounted in a way that I could sit the case up and still use it while plugged in having all the power and data cables on the sides. The playbox is literally useless without moving the power, hdmi, and Ethernet to the side instead of the bottom... not to mention the horrible internal cable routing... the way the TS connector has to curve and bend isn't very thoughtout. Plus not being able to swap SD cards without taking the case apart. The cheesey snap together housing will break after removing the back panel a few times to access the SD. Looks like I will be hacking up the playbox to be usefull. Major letdown.. the case looks beautiful, but isn't useful until the Pine is mounted another way inside and ports are extended to the sides. ?
