@igillen Very nice! :)

Nicely done! Do you find that you need to run the fan often? Is it temperature-controlled or is it on all the time?

@BuZz thanks!

@obsidianspider honestly, I'm not convinced it needs the fan at all seeing as I don't overclock at all, but I figured better safe than sorry. The way the fan is set up it just runs anytime the pi is on. I wasn't even aware you could set it up otherwise. I did set it to run of the 3.3v pin instead of 5v so it runs much quieter.
Not a very elegant solution but it suits my needs. That said I'm always open to suggestions or even some constructive criticism. -
That's a very nice project!
How do you stop the monitor sliding around when the table is moved?
-
@GtBFilms I left in as much as the cardboard filler inside as I could to help in not slide while still letting the cables get where they needed to.
We cut it so close to the screen dimentions that overall it's a very snug fit. I suppose if you were really worried about it sliding around you could drill holes in the bottom of the table to match those found on the back of the monitor where I removed the mounting plate piece. Then it would just be screwed into place. Another alternative would be to put blocks in place on the table that prevent the screen from sliding rather than relying on the cardboard. So far I havent had any problems though
