I know that feeling too. Those damn plastic bins are crap, but Houston airport has special flat laptop bins which makes life easier.

Keep it small, but big enough for the expansion card. As others have said - if you want something bigger, just go with an off the shelf Mini-ITX case. Why reinvent the wheel?

Mike already made Mini-ITX backplanes... Seems like the logical choice. Although I've always bought and liked Loriano's cases...

Please make sure you use 5V regulated supply, the 5V rail has some protection for overvoltage but it is not regulated on board.

The USB in the base board is used for re-flashing the ARM, it is not designed for connecting stuff to.

Do you mean the onboard USB pins or the port on the side? Which one can't be used?

What size is the outer diameter on the power jack?

Thanks!

Is there a way to connect a DVD-RW and floppy disk drive or 3.5" HD to the fpgaarcade?

With the expansion board, yes. This will be done via the Poseidon stack.

The Daddy:

Considering that the Arcade FPGA without the expansion board is what most people would require (it is fast enough to run WHDLoad with enough RAM to run the games) - I guess most people would not be interested in the expansion board.

Did you consider making 2version of the case, or it would be too much work?

I see...

What about a SATA or IDE DVD drive?

Floppy disk and SATA/IDE HD?

I am talking internally not external devices via USB.

It's to decide if we need space for such things.

Well from what I am understsanding, the current expansion board does not have IDE or SATA. But there is nothing from stopping someone else to do an expansion board with IDE and/or Sata connections....

The possibilities are endless, but you might as well buy a MIDI ATX case then =)

If I was me, I'd go for the real basic setup (to design a box).

Also...when will the daughter board be available? Do the connectors on the daughter board fit within the space of the I/O panel or are they outside this space?

They fit within the I/Panel as far as I know. But you have to punch your own holes for the expansion board in the I/O panel.

What I find 'strange' is that there are connection on BOTH sides of the board. If this is a standard mini-itx motherboard, how would you use that in a real mini-itx case?

The picture you see here is the daugtherboard from Yacube (the mainboard is a other version of replay board).
The final daughterboard will be different, and redesign (because some connectors are stacked on the replay v.b01 board)so I think most connectors on the daughterbard will be on one site to fit the io panel.

I was looking at this. There are two layers there. Is that the expansion board on top, becasue I don't see the network socket?

@TheDaddy Do you plan to use the I/O plate on the back? In the long run it may be worth it because it would be able to accomodate various expansion boards assuming these become available.



Last thing, anyone got a photo of the final design of the arcade FPGA (Populated)?

I'll put a hi-res photo of the main board on my website when I remember.
The connectors on the daughterboard for USB and Ethernet will sit in the IO area above the SD and DVI connectors.
