Some rendering of the new Metal Case we designed for Cubie A5E, passive cooling, board upside down. The PoE module can be installed inside.

Looks awesome,
Is nvme (with thermal pad?) inside supported? Any cutout for gpio planned?

Looks awesome but! I would also consider making a fan heatsink for the cubie board as an alternative to this case

Nice design. Any plans for availability for this case?

@hipboi - in the other thread I asked about PoE output, got no reply yet.

Now you say , in this metal case “The PoE module can be installed inside.”

Is there any PoE module available for this board?

Can you explain existing PoE pinouts so we can adjust some existing PoE modules to be fit it the case.

Similar size cases are available for 3D print.

Ive found this one on a link someone shared on telegram:
https://www.jlc-cnc.com/cncOrder/#/salesPromotion?promoterCode=CPNlm33O&activityCode=ACUHiDI0

My only take… is… it lacks a fan… but still… for the sleak design it looks perfect.

When and where can we purchase this? Casing is always important. It’s wise to have this available for this particular model, and consider that for your various SBC devices as well. Thanks in advance.

Where can we buy it? I was planning on buying a Cubie A5e, but I wanted a case to store it in.
