Hi all. I don’t know how many people around here have heard of the
Raspberry Pi, but I saw that someone is working on a Lego compatible
case for it. The Raspberry Pi is a computer on a chip that is really
cheap. This would seem to be an inexpensive way to add a lot more
computing power to a Lego robotics project.

Initially (at least) the Pi comes without a case, so I expect it is just
a matter of building around it so it doesn’t rattle too much. I haven’t
received mine yet, but I’ll take a moment to see how well a pure LEGO
case can work.
It feels a little bit like waste to use a Pi for embedded systems
considering that it has HDMI output and can run a 1080 lines video
display. - But I can’t find anything as cheap with the same computing
power.

I just received my Raspberry Pi (lastest revision which is Rev 2 with 512 MB of
RAM) and will be building a Lego case for it. There are several Lego case
designs out there for public consumption:
Lego case which can be ordered (instructions online)

Biz’s LEGO case – the Boreatton Scouts hit Germany.

Two different Lego RPi Cases on elinux.org (and lots of other cases)
