Case for the Odroid C4: A Custom Design Born from Inspiration Drawing inspiration from similar cases, this design was created from scratch to meet the unique needs of the Odroid C4. Key Features: The case is designed to support 2020 aluminium mounts and Vesa 75mm standards, providing a solid foundation for the board. Assembly Requirements: To assemble the case, you'll need four short M3 screws for the board and four longer M3 screws or Cap Screws for the cover. Adding a Hard Drive: If you want to integrate a hard drive into your setup, use the HD lid and base combination with the HD base. This will give you ample storage space. Temperature Testing: We conducted temperature tests under CPU load to ensure optimal performance: * Without a cover: 57 degrees * With a cover but no cooling: 65 degrees * With a fan (40x40, 24v) using GPIO pins 4+ and 6-: 41 degrees Enhancing Airflow: For improved airflow through the drives, consider adding an additional fan. You can use the Modular RAID enclosure as a reference design and incorporate a left base for a second 2.5" disk drive. A 12v or 5v fan will provide the necessary noise to enhance airflow. SATA Controller: For this project, we used a SATA controller available on AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000414988962.html).
