Case for Raspbery pi+ and iquadio dac+ (metal or aluminium)

Postby jonas18z » 02 Nov 2014, 16:51

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
