COLUMNSTHE OPEN-SOURCE CLASSROOMFigure 1. This foldable case is simple, cheap and pretty cool-looking (image fromhttp://h2database.com).think of a cooler way to coveryour Pi. Templates are available onthe Internet, but even without atemplate, it’s possible to make acase as tight-fitting or as ventilatedas you want. Now with the differentcolor options available for 3-Dprinters, the sky is really the limit.Case Option: Regular PrintingI didn’t buy a case. I don’t have a3-D printer. And, my kids no longerhave LEGO blocks lying around forme to steal. For me, I wanted a casethat was simple, cheap and did thejob. Thankfully, the folks over athttp://h2database.com/raspi haveprovided a printable template thatfolds into a Raspberry Pi case. The50 / DECEMBER <strong>2012</strong> / WWW.LINUXJOURNAL.COM
COLUMNSTHE OPEN-SOURCE CLASSROOMFigure 2. I am probably the only kid on the block with a bootable box of Pop-Tarts.coolest print stock is a clear mylarsheet. Figure 1 shows how cool afoldable clear case can look.Case Option: Crazy Go Nuts Youhave a computer with a silly name,so why not compliment that with asilly case? The Raspberry Pi is smallenough to fit inside a Pop-Tart box, anold shoe, a DVD case, a hollowed-outbook or a carved Halloween pumpkin.Of course, any case that is wet likelywill damage or destroy your Pi, but it’sawful tempting to make a “RaspberryPumpkin Pi”, isn’t it? The possibilitiesare endless with RPi case mods, so letyour creativity lead the way.Getting the BootFirst off, the Raspberry Pi willnot PXE boot. It also won’t bootdirectly from a USB device. Bothof those things really bum me out,WWW.LINUXJOURNAL.COM / DECEMBER <strong>2012</strong> / 51
