For the\u00a0Raspberry Pi cluster I wanted to make sure that they are neatly stored to keep them easy to reach.<\/p>\n

Why nicely storing them is important<\/h2>\n

Each Raspberry Pi requires a power and network cable. When using a single raspberry pi\u00a0the cables are not an issue but I\u00a0am planning to use five as a baseline for my cluster. These cables\u00a0can quickly start to become messy and make the cluster hard to reach.<\/p>\n

Stacking the Raspberry Pi’s<\/h2>\n

Therefore I\u00a0have selected a solution that would allow me to stack the Raspberry Pi’s on top of each other.<\/p>\n

This case allows excess heat to be vented through the sides which many case designs do not account for. Since I plan to be using the Pi’s extensively they will likely be running quite hot.<\/p>\n
