Raspberry Pi-based server

Some of the ports require desoldering from the Pi.

Build details are supplied by NODE on its website along with source files for the case and PCB designs.

In addition to the Pi, an HDD/SSD and a fan the V2 needs:

• 3D printed case (including struts
• Bottom PCB – 1.6 mm thick
• Top PCB – 1.6 mm thick, optionally made from aluminium
• Micro SD card PCB – 0.8 mm thick
• SATA Adapter PCB – 1.6 mm thick
• 8 x M2.5 x 10 mm screws
• 6 x M2.5 x 8 mm screws
• 6 x M2.5 Hex Nuts
• 4 x M3 x 6 mm screws
• 100 mm 4 pin 1 mm Pitch FPC cable
• 2 x 4 pin 1 mm Pitch FPC connector (84981-4)
• 2.5-inch HDD/SSD (7 mm form factor)
• USB 2.0 Type-A female port
• Standard micro SD card slot
• 5.5 x 2.1 mm right-angled DC Jack
• SMD RJ45 Jack
• S8050 Transistor
• 30 x 10 x 10 mm 5v blower fan
• USB SATA Adapter
• Self-adhesive rubber feet

Currently, the project is DIY, however NODE says it is “thinking of opening a limited preorder on this, depending on what the response was like”
