Form Factor of Standalone / Case

Hello everyone

I would like to design my own case for the stand alone version, which I will produce on a 3D-Printer.

Is there already some form factor information out there? I would like to start the basic design as soon as I can.

Thank you

All I know is that the board measures 120x100mm.

Placement of the connectors and mounting holes, component heights, cooling requirements etc. are unknowns outside of the team.

That was small!! so it is the same size as PI.

Raspberry Pi? No a Pi is much smaller at 85x56mm for the PCB.

Exact size is 123mm x 100mm

Thanks a lot Renaud

This helps a lot.

Do you know, if the board needs active cooling?

I like your idea for a custom case Obetto. But as long as we don't know the layout and placement of the various connectors on the standalone board , there will be a lot of guessing involved.
  Unless of course one the ATeam members provides the necessary information here :D

Don't forget to give space for real 3.5" HDD or 2.5" HDD or cd-rom etc

I'm assuming it will likely come sans-casing.

The used FPGA consumes about 4W :-) No cooling is required by default.
