Thanks bro! I've been scrambling to stay on top of things...with my recent move, I am further behind than usual, hehe
Working on getting my new (non-branded) R-Pi A/B model lids printed and product pics posted. I had to change my miners around a bit today...finally got my new Black Widow up and running, thanks to Multi-Miner! hehee

Very cool. I have a Pi B+ that is being sent to me this week. I am excited you have all the case sets I need. Stoked!!!
I will be posting info and pics for the R-Pi B+ cases tonight! Finally ready for production.
Taking pics with my crappy cam and posting soon...was a late night in the garage.
Just placed an order for the last part needed for my R-Pi fan case....I cannot sell the cases without testing them myself! Parts list: Adafruit Micro Lipo-USB LiIon/LiPoly charger https://www.adafruit.com/products/1304Evercool EC1708M05C fan http://www.evercool.com.tw/categories/global/fan/dcfan/ec-1708/ec1708.htmlEC1708M05C model 5 volts 0.08 amps 0.4 watts 11000 rpm 0.6 cfm 0.1 press. ("/h2o) <15 dBA
The Adafruit charger will be for use with units currently using the GPIO (BTCGarden miners etc)...otherwise I am going to use Male to Female jumper wires ( http://www.adafruit.com/products/824) and wire the fan directly to the R-Pi GPIO. If anyone can source/make USB A male to JST female cables that would be sweet and the preferred route over the Adafruit charger.

Very cool. How is the final placement going to go? It looks like a great setup for the BTC Gardens. GPIO was something I have been thinking of I had not decided yet. Very interested in how it goes with your setup. Very cool. I have a Pi B+ that is being sent to me this week. I am excited you have all the case sets I need. Stoked!!!

How about a protective case for a Neptune controller?

How about a protective case for a Neptune controller?
Yes but I would need a Neptune controller to work with for getting the fitment right. If you, or anyone has one spare/extra laying around and would be willing to ship my way, I'd be happy to design the enclosure and supply a couple/few to the person who lent me the controller. I am working on a deal like that with another BCT member for sidehacks dps2k board. Thanks for the inquiry mate.

Just placed a order for 5 R-Box mounts and a case for the BlackArrow Breakout Board.
Looks like those mounts might be just what I was looking for. Thanks. It is real exciting to see some one come up with a design and offer 3d printing services to the community.

Hi, I hope all is well. Any news on the RPi case with the fan? I am looking forward to them.
Just got my fan yesterday but I may have purchased too small of a fan...this thing measures 17mm x 17mm x 8mm but spins @11k rpm, so maybe it will suffice. I went with a fan that was readily available and fairly low price but also had good reviews for reliability etc. I will be posting some pics up tonight/tomorrow after I test the fan some. RPi is a fanless device, why would you need a fan for Raspberry Pi?

Lat of the supplies needed arrive today. I am aiming to keep the price as low as possible. Going to be a busy day but I should have this and a couple other projects wrapped up by this afternoon. I have not been feeling so great these past couple weeks and have been struggling to identify what is causing the issues.

New products have been posted as well as more pics!
Prices have been updated as well
Hoping have the R-Pi fan lid ready by morning...I am test printing another revision now. Fortunately, I was supplied with an R-Pi with heat sinks installed by an outstanding member here on the forums which has helped a ton in developing this fan case design...without the heat sinks, my previous revision would not have closed properly on an R-Pi with heat sinks.

I have a PI case and a yoda head, they are really cool ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Heya bro! My R-Pi cases have really come along ways since that version. Next time you're in Portland area hit me up and I will give ya some more 3d printed swag! I moved across town so I am not at the same place. How's your mine doing these days? Thanks for the bump! I just finished taking pics of the R-Pi A/B "Cool Topper" cases (fan mount). They will work with units using heat sinks too! Also, you can swap the fan position if you need the fan to exhaust instead of intake. I've also added some wire guide/keepers to help with airflow since the fan wires are so long (need new solder gun tips!)

Just ordered 16 of these puppies... can't wait to see them in hand. Ordering was a breeze, extremely responsive, quick to communicate and get going. Will for sure post pics once everything's up and running. Thanks!
