Enjoy the video. 🙂 Some additional information: The idea was to run a full node on a Pi 4/5 and have it sit on my desk. So it must be passive cooled to be silent. Unfortunately I didn't find a case that met my high design requirements so I cnc-machined my own from aluminum. My requirements: The Pi 4 and 5 have their USB-C and Ethernet ports on different sides so cables stick out in various directions which doesn't look great. Furthermore I wanted to utilize a NVME SSD and have the entire setup cooled passively. Components: – RPI CM4 (CM5 wasn't out mid 2024) – Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-C board – 1 TB M2 NVME SSD – CNC-machined aluminum case & lid – thermal pad – screws, studs, bumpers, small parts Super happy with the result. Looks great and is absolutely silent. Cost approximately €400. My contribution to the network. What do you think? 🙂 submitted by /u/ideatracker |
