Gene is implementing one of my suggestions! I am flattered! :-)Please post a photograph online somewhere when it is built. I am curious to see your custom/ mod/ 3-D printed case.
Just the shelves are printed, you can get the case from amazon as a stamped sheet metal thing for just few bucks. It will look like h--- because the 7 port all usb_3 hub is longer that it is. A 6" 24 volt fan idling along on the bpi's 5 volts will cool it quietly. I'll probably tie the hub to it with a zip tie or 2. Function is what counts. Pretty is for describing girls.
