Waveshare makes a PCIe To M.2 Adapter Board (C) with right angle FFC ends for $10-15 that would mount on the opposite side from the board with the HDMI ports. It would allow a normal 2280 drive.

Congratulations! you have successfully un-pied the pi

I just subscribed to the "Christopher Barnatt" channel. I swear when I retire I want to be just like you. I am not as talented with my hands as you, but I did spent years writing my own compiler and programming language from assembly code only (no C or C++ used). Now in the progress of making a retro game, running on the virtual machine I created. Hopefully, I will have a full channel and website for all the software the virtual machine supports, and will be able to raise a bit of money for my retirement. 🤞
@BlaBlaBla-ql9bl Says:
Can't you put the M.2 card on the other side of the board?

Yak,
Egypt is complicit with Israel along with Turkey.
Egypt doesn't allow to use Gazza border to Global Sumud Maghreb n deported.
Egyptians goes missing like Bangladesh!!!
Egyptians acted as Lebanese navy when intercepted Handala to help migrant boat.
Justice system should not be complicit with Egypt.

So let me get this right, you took a tiny computer and made it a big computer, negating the main advantage of the Pi😂

Hi chrisopher what 3d printer should I buy as a beginner I like get good 3d printer for printing parts did you use blenda or something else ? I could buy any 3d print but like to one work well part for raspi 2 3 4 5 l have ill may get a pi5 at xmas see whats out there. Keep well
@Ryan_Tidwell Says:
Thanks for sharing the 3d model. I may use that one day.
I purchased a Bambu Lab A1 mini not long ago for $200. I thought it had a small build plate.
Your printer is tiny. My A1 mini should print this in one go I believe. :D
@LhDiy Says:
Nice setup. At 11:58 at the J2 header, you could just solder both twisted wires, but not the holes in the pi.
@alecmbell Says:
Shoutout to the way you closed out the video in Great Scott cadence.
@DavidStringham Says:
Only problem I have is that there's no grounding, but I guess an SBC normally wouldn't be.
@schrodingerscat1863 Says:
Did a similar project myself last year to build a media server using a PI5, PCI-e to SATA adaptor for a couple of 4TB hard drives. All this plus a couple of USB TV decoders for recording broadcast TV. All put into a nice mini ITX case using a 3D printed carrier similar to yours just bigger. Wired up GPIO pins for power LED and HDD led on the case too. It was a thoroughly enjoyable project.
@jemojem992 Says:
As always another great video
@zrebbesh Says:
So, you can get a replica Commodore 64 'bread-bin' case, that's got a standard 80% mechanical keyboard and is modded to fit a mini-ITX motherboard, and do this to it. They call it the Commodore 64x. And there's a "Commodore OS Vision" that's been out for a few years now, which is a trippy linux distro with all kinds of vintage emulators and operating sysems and 8-bit games preloaded on it. Dunno how well that would fit on a Pi, but I've seen Debian on Pi's so... worth a shot?
@gary-williams Says:
I suspect the Pi with accessories could probably also be made to fit in a Nano-ITX enclosure or in a 5-1/4" drive bay. Pico-ITX looks too small though.
@michaelwright2986 Says:
With a big enough case, there'd be room for the hamster wheel for a sustainable power supply.

Does raspberry pi 5 has any add-on hat that will adapt a dvd drive become a HTC CENTER?
@Shirani007 Says:
Wow ! Your channel is addictive, believe me. Subscribed now !
Thank for great content.❤
@JeffreyGroves Says:
Hrmmm.. that power switch solution gives me great concern. Solder can be desoldered fairly easily.
@tommo9914 Says:
You've suddenly inspired to build this for a mini-itx case I received by accident. Thanks a lot Chris!
@schtive81 Says:
It's a nice concept overall. But I still feel like there is a lot of unused space. But, there's still room on that 3D printed motherboard tray.
Is there a way to add a USB header for those USB3 front panels on the case? And for that matter, are there any 'HD audio' connectors that could work with the Pi somehow? Can the 40 pin GPIO be used for extended features?
@FUZASHIII Says:
Let's make a case to put it inside a bigger case, hell yeah 😎
@DavidLowe-qt8cm Says:
After 40 years of computing, network management and memories of CPM and Fortran your channel shines as a common sense oasis in the never ending quagmire of tech bullshit .
Keep it up , your doing great !
@SeaJay_Oceans Says:
You have a real sellable product with that Pi 5 to mITX adapter board, just add a real metal i/o shield and then Pi 5 can fit in any PC case that can fit mITX .
@SeaJay_Oceans Says:
Brilliant ! Now we can upgrade our old desktop PCs to Pi 5s.
@ScatManAust Says:
Nifty idea and well thought out.
My only gripe was the dogshit way of input power.
Why not solder the header pins in or at least solder the wire to the board????
@schmelpe Says:
I printed your Mini-ITX STL file and tried to install it in a Mini-ITX case. Unfortunately, that didn't work, as your construction proposal is much too wide. The Mini-ITX specification says that the maximum width is 158.75mm. However, your case proposal has the full Mini-ITX width of 170mm.
Or have I misunderstood something?

I take it that if "Mr Superglue" is to become a regular character, he will have to be played by different actors and look slightly different from time to time, like Batman.

@CasperLabuschagne Says:
There is room to place 2x Pi's next to each other in the case which brings up possibilities such as one Pi serving as a VPN server, router or firewall and the other Pi being a media center. What is now needed is a compatible power supply for ITX cases that will power any Pi either by setting DIP switches or by using a different cable set matched to the amperage a specific model Pi requires..
@CasperLabuschagne Says:
With the Pi 5 powerful enough to serve as a daily-use computer, it is high time that these high-end Pi's outgrow their hobbyist form factor and conform to industry standards.
@media.lesley Says:
i hate to be a vocabulary stickler, but you used pontificate incorrectly. i would never find you as a know it all, yet less to speak as such.
@martinsmith5028 Says:
Hi Chris. Another great video. Thanks for uploading the 3D print files. As an aside to this, do you have any idea of how much it would cost to have a company print the board.? I haven't yet convinced my wife into letting me have a new toy yet :)
Many thanks, Martin

My Raspberry Pi 4 8gb is my main desktop computer. It is used more often than my Windows 10 desktop which is getting on a bit but is still my most powerful computer. However, the RPI 4 is quicker to boot and does everything I could wish. Tasks that are only possible in Windows 10 or that require specific hardware to maximise performance are often done on the desktop PC. That really only consists of Da Vinci Resolve video editing, Blender and some Windows specific music editing software. DaVinci Resolve and Blender can both be run on the RPI 4, but are notably slower. On the whole I prefer being able to get into things much quicker on the RPI 4. It can take quite a while for the desktop PC to be ready for action. I know from reviews like Christopher's and extrapolating from my experience with the RPI 4 that the RPI 5 would be even more capable and with a Mini-ITX setup you might have to look closely before you realised it wasn't a true PC.

What an excellent project that is . Well things in technology tend to go smaller but it's always good to have alternatives .

@Chris Re: the I/O Shield.. A few years ago, I encountered someone (He rolled a board called the NuXT).. that made his I/O Shield with... a PCB... at the usual places it actually worked just fine when I had some made myself.. You just use the aluminum PCB option. Just draw it out in your preferred Gerber editing software (I did it in KiCad and DipTrace and even onlien stuff).. obviously no schematic required.. and to them, gerbers are gerbers... I can forward over the files that can be used as templates if you have any interest in going that route. (I'm still need to make one for my Dual PPro boards, since those I/O shield are impossible to find, so I'm using the 1 I do have that is similar to it as a template)
@gdutfulkbhh7537 Says:
I followed in the meister's footsteps: bought all the gear and installed it. Now wondering how to actually use my m.2 SSD as I can't seem to make it appear as a drive on the desktop (Raspbian). Any ideas? (The speed test works; I just can't actually seem to use the drive for anything.)
Sounds GREAT!! I hope that someone, preferably Apple, comes out with a user guide for octegenairans like me whose cognative abilities are slower. Time will tell. Anyway, thank you, Rich, for this peek at the future for iPads.

This adapter costs GBP4.46 here in South Africa

Great vid. Btw, can you please share the product link for your Mini-ITX case that is used here?
