Comment on this product
Just so you know; all our prices include GST, orders over $100.00 qualify for free shipping. Everything that is in stock (green tick icon) ships overnight on CourierPost. A lot of things that have the "blue question mark" stock icon are actually available now direct from our suppliers, please feel free to ask us if you aren't sure.
All our products are sourced through official channels, and come with a manufacturers warranty. Here's our returns policy if you'd like to read it before purchasing.
As the comments say, if you add an internal minipci wireless card, you need to drill a hole in this case for the aerial.
There is no opening for the compact flash card. If you need to swap the CF, you have to open the case and remove the motherboard, or boot system rescue CD in serial console, nbd mode and rewrite the CF.
There is no room or power inside this case for an IDE drive, you can't just add one in, and there is no way to get the ribbon cable out easily. There is also no provision for cooling. If you intend to add a spinning hard drive, get a different case.
Tolerance to the edge of the board in this case is very tight, only 1 to 2 mm.
The case side screws are self-tapping type, not pre-threaded, not machine screws. This could cause some tapping metal shards to fall inside the case the first time. Make sure you test fit the screws with the case empty, then clean up the holes prior to fitting the board.
There are no mounting provisions on this case. There is nothing to screw to or around or through to mount the case anywhere, such as the back of the monitor, under a desk or on a wall. The tight tollerances and light gauge on the base means screwing into it is not feasable, leaving only cable ties as a mounting option.
There is no branding or marking on this case whatsoever. You need to consider how to label it so users know which port is which, what it is, and who to call when it breaks down.
Thanks for your detailed notes, very useful for people to have.
We've looked at sourcing alternate cases in the past but at twice the price many people weren't interested so we've just stuck with these simple ones from PC Engines for the moment.
Cheers,

We usually stock black. We do have a couple blue currently and there is some red on the way which should be here in around a week.

Yes this will work for the APU boards including the 2c4
