Default X500 PLUS and Raspberri pi
Just a quick photo of my raspberry pi inside the X500 PLUS:



Keyboard works fine, there is so much space left inside that you could easily have 4-5 raspberries with a self powered hub with HDD and SSD etc...

You get the idea.

Can you fit an A500 and an A590 inside, or is just ATX/ITX standard? Although I'm guessing the keyboard would be an issue. NVM :-)

I haven't tried an A500 board in it nor the A1200 but if I have time I'll give it a go. Are there adapters that allow you to connect a USB keyboard to the A500/1200? I thought there were?!

Not sure would have to get the old measuring tape out :-) There are adapters for the A1200 keyboard from memory but that's the wrong way round.

The case is 470mm wide by 325mm, so take off some for the case. Will measure the board tomorrow off to work now

A little OT but maybe will help you decide what color power light to use:

Green and Orange (amber) I think were the ones most people like.

Cool. Those Raspberry Pi boards are so small, I think you could put one in a real A500 case. Without removing the A500 first. There's a dual-boot solution!

4-5 Pi's??!?!?!?

you could have a nice little cluster going and have each one doing a designated task. Like one for a minecraft sever, one as a web server, one to do business and so on lol. You could just remote terminal each one and get it to do the tasks.

That sound awesome in it's self.
