I was looking for a case that could make a suitable media player to replace my old boxee box (RIP) but could not find what i wanted, so i made this!

This comes as a take what you need case with some alternatives:

The case bottom comes with a bare RPi mount, OR with attachment brackets for the boxee box remote/wlan reciever. Both has a slot in the back for the memory card lid in case the user needs to remove it. The Pi itself is clamped together between the top and bottom case.
The top part comes in three versions:

-Plain, nothing extra.

-With hole for a 40mm fan

-With hole for a 40mm fan + a power button.

Select the top you want, select the bottom you want, print them plus the memory card lid (and the button if you picked that top part). Put the Pi in the bottom, put the top on and screw the two parts together with 4 M3x8 screws.

If you want the power button, then you need a standard momentary keyboard switch (with the short 1mm long button). Glue it in the mount, slide in the button and secure it in its two positioning \"pins\" and heat or glue the pins to the button. For a extra nice look, print the power button with a transparent bottom and add light to it in the case.

I use this with Kodi (OSMC) and dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown for the button, with a non optimal 12V fan running on 5V. I do recommend using a fan as this get pretty hot otherwise.
