4. my own case supporting my DC/RS-232 Hat
   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5662300
   

Here is a variant with a DIN rail bracket (STL for my DC/RS-232 hat or without)

5. Rock Pi E Developers package

6. ALLNet ABS Case

7. Not a RockPi E case sofar…
   But a cool tool to create cases
   (Maybee one might be able to extend this for RockPi E ?)

8. ecoPI E housing (AllNet)
   Powder coated aluminium with WiFi socket.
   Could be large enough for PoE
   (not tried, but outer height is 33,5mm; mine is 28mm(inner height about 23mm)

Do any of these cases have room for the RockPi-E PoE HAT?

[marcovaldo]

Hi Mr.X,

Not yet tried but my own (the orange blue 3D printed) have space for a board I made
(2x RS232 and 24V DC input) - which is mounted very much like the Radxa PoE board.
(probably only needs trimming the stacking pins on the top)
I just have ordered 3 PoE Boards from AllNet. Will have them in house next few days and
will provide you further feedback…

Kind Greetings,
Marcovaldo

The original diniks case I have remixed should work too

[Mr.X]

Anyone tried this case from AllNet?

[marcovaldo]

Thx for hint! I have added it to the above gallery…

[Mr.X]

Does it look like the Allnet case would fit the PoE module?

[marcovaldo]

Hi,
Just wanted to get one (its the lowest price case around I think) - but it is sold out.
Anyway will get 3 PoE hats next week and will report back in the above overview which
of the cases support PoE (I can test my 3D printed = ident with DinikS; also I have the KKSB one)
Greetings, M.

I am happy to support this as the Rock Pi E is a valuable platform for me, and the more
are using it - the longer it will be available (anyway all statements from Radxa and Distris
were stating long term availability more than fit for industrial use)
I like especially the low power passive cooling features
Its low power / not too high clock rate also make it easy to stay within CE/UKCA and other EMI standards.

If any of you has ideas for ‘nice to have’ interfaces/hats , please let me know. maybee I can combine it
with what is in the pipeline allready here.
