Personal Recommendation for the Raspberry Pi Case

Personally, I wouldn't recommend using the Odyssey 4105 case with the Raspberry Pi unless they release a version that comes with the i/o shields or if you can buy them separately. The design of the case is such that it will just kind of be opened up on both sides, which makes the assembly process less than ideal. However, as you can see from the video footage provided, the actual construction of the case is quite neat and well-designed.

Mounting the ReComputer ER

The first step in assembling the Odyssey 4105 case with the Raspberry Pi was to mount the reCompute ER board to the midsection of the case. The instructions were clear, and it only took a few minutes to complete this task. I noticed that the midsection is made of anodized aluminum, which gives the case a high-quality finish.

Adding the i/o Shields

Next, I added the i/o shields to the midsection of the case. These shields are included in the packaging and provide easy access to all the ports on the Raspberry Pi. The video footage shows that the shields are securely attached to the case, which provides a clean and organized look.

Mounting the reCompute ER Board

With the i/o shields in place, I was able to mount the reCompute ER board to the midsection of the case using four included screws. This process took only a few minutes to complete and resulted in a sturdy and well-constructed case.

Power Button Installation

As part of the assembly process, I installed a power button on the reCompute ER board. However, I noticed that this was not the first step in the instructions provided with the case. The video footage shows how to install the power button after adding the i/o shields to the midsection of the case.

Assembly and Final Touches

With all the components installed, it was time to put the bottom on the case. This required lining up the components correctly and securing them with four extra screws. The video footage shows that this process is relatively easy to complete, even if the magnets on the top pull your screw off of the screwdriver.

The Finished Product

Once the bottom was installed, I had a fully assembled Odyssey 4105 case with the Raspberry Pi inside. The finished product looks great, and the design of the case allows for easy access to all the ports on the Raspberry Pi. The video footage also shows that the reCompute ER board has plenty of room under it to dissipate heat.

Using Single Cable Operation

One feature that I really like about this little PC is single cable operation. If you have a monitor that supports HDMI or DisplayPort over USB type-c, you can connect everything using just one cable. The video footage shows that the Odyssey 4105 case works perfectly with my current monitor, which supports 4k resolution at 30 Hz.

Using the Case in Different Orientations

Another feature of this case is its ability to be used in different orientations. According to the video footage, there are four little rubber feet on the side of the case that allow you to set it up vertically or lay it down flat and place it underneath your display to keep it out of the way.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I really like the Odyssey 4105 case with the Raspberry Pi. It's a great example of how to design a well-constructed single board computer enclosure. The design allows for easy access to all the ports on the Raspberry Pi, and the case is made from high-quality materials such as anodized aluminum. If you're in the market for a new enclosure for your Raspberry Pi, I would definitely recommend checking out this option.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys this ETA prime back here again today we're gonna be taking a look at the new case for the recompute otherwise known as The Odyssey x86 J 4105 but you'll hear me refer to it as the recompute er because those are the markings on the board now if you're not familiar with the recompute ER I've done several videos on it it's a single board computer from seed studio that packs a quad-core Intel CPU and eight gigs of lpddr4 RAM it comes in at around one hundred and eighty dollars and I personally really love this little board it'll run Windows Linux Android or pretty much any other x86 operating system that you can throw at it so when the board was first released there was absolutely no cases available for it but now they have the recompute ER case available for $15 now this is specifically designed for the recompute ER but they've also set it up so it will hold a Raspberry Pi 3 Raspberry Pi 4 or the Jetson nano and I'm sure you could fit other different single board computers in here but I wouldn't go out and buy this specifically for the Raspberry Pi because the i/o shields on it are only made for the recompute ER so let's go ahead and get this out of the box and see what we have here overall from what I've seen so far it definitely looks like it's worth $15 we have that clear acrylic top on it it's anodized aluminum here and overall it's just a beautiful case the top is fully removable it's got some magnets on it and sits there really nice so we can get to the MDOT two slots on the recompute er very easily and there's a little ejection button here I didn't know about so when this is all put together I guess you can use that to pull the top off easily we have the base here and like I mentioned they have made this compatible with the Raspberry Pi and the Jetson Nano but unfortunately there's just no i/o shield if there was a way to buy extra i/o shields or if they came with it this might be an awesome little case for a Raspberry Pi 4 and you could throw a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD inside of it with it so all in all I would really only recommend this if you have the re computer and not some other single board computer because the i/o shields that come with it only work with the re computer we also get a little screwdriver and all of our hardware to put this thing together real quick before we put this thing together I did want to test out the Raspberry Pi on it and yes it does line up with the holes in the bottom you could put the screws that are included with it but once you put the whole thing together just kind of have these open up sides here and you'd have to route your HDMI cables inside of the case so overall I personally wouldn't recommend it for the Raspberry Pi unless they come out with a version that comes with the i/o shields for the PI or you can buy them separately but as you can see here it'll just kind of be opened up on both sides so the way this thing goes together is actually pretty neat you don't mount the recompute ER to the base you actually mount it to the midsection and you'll get the four included screws first thing I need to do is go ahead and put the i/o shields on and the midsection is anodized aluminum it's not plastic or anything like that and it looks really really nice so I have those shields in and I can actually turn this over and just place it right in the midsection gotta line it up and you'll actually just mount it in here with four of the included screws and I just noticed this but there is a button included in the screw package for the power button on the recompute er should have put that in first but I'll go ahead and do it now I can just kind of shimmy this back out and it'll cover up that power button for us it does have an LED on it so this should light up blue when everything's powered on yeah and the buttons work and it's pressing the button on the recompute er basically all I need to do now is put the four screws in to hold the board inside of the case all right so there it is it was actually a little harder than it looks because the magnets on the top pull your screw off of the screwdriver but you can get there now it's time to put the bottom on make sure it's lined up correctly yeah and we do have access to that little top ejection button so we can pop the top off at any time now all we need to do is Mount the bottom on there's four extra screws you go in from the inside with the bottom here I'll go ahead and do that and then we'll take a look at this thing fully assembled so yeah I really do like the look of this it's got kind of a nook look to it we do have access to both sides all the i/o on this and we can eject that top and we can get right to those in dot two slots to add whatever we need in there and one thing I really didn't notice or even think about when I was putting this together were the extra feet on the side so we can set this up in a vertical orientation and have a supermini desktop personally I would love to set this up in a vertical orientation on my desk or something like that but to tell you the truth it's probably gonna be sitting horizontal most of the time just to keep out of the way now one of my favorite things about this little PC is single cable operation if you have a monitor that supports HDMI or DisplayPort over USB type-c you'll only need a single cable and by the way the monitor that I'm using here is a pin QEW 30 to 80 UT this is absolutely the best display that I've ever owned it supports 4k as you can see DisplayPort over USB type-c it also has HDMI inputs and built-in sound if you want to learn more about this display I will leave a link to Ben Q's website like I mentioned this is the best display I've ever owned so right now on this little ree computer I have a boon to 2004 installed it will be running in 4k on this monitor over USB type-c we're getting power in there and I do have a keyboard and mouse plugged in just a little wireless dongle but those are the only two things that I have plugged in to this unit and I can use it like a regular PC I really do like the fact that I can set this case up in a vertical orientation it's got those four little rubber feet on the side or you can lay it down flat and put it right underneath your display to keep it out of the way so yeah this is a great little case for the single board computer I'm actually really glad that seed studio released something like this most of the time when these manufacturers build their single board computers they only do the plastic cases and this one is really really nice it's very well constructed we have access to all the ports on this SBC and Cooling is a non-issue we got plenty of room under here with that big heatsink to pull and push air out but that's pretty much it for this video I really appreciate you watching if you own the Odyssey 4105 single board computer otherwise known as the re computer definitely look into getting one of these cases if you're in the market I really appreciate you watching and if there's anything else you want to see running on the Odyssey single board computer just let me know in the comments below but like always thanks for watching youwhat's going on guys this ETA prime back here again today we're gonna be taking a look at the new case for the recompute otherwise known as
