Still not too sure how to house your awesome Raspberry Pi B model? Don’t worry, [Timothy Giles] has got you covered! He’s just finished this very sleek open source PIvena case (http://www.wildcircuits.com/2014/08/introducing-pivena.html) for anyone to use.
Why is it called the PIvena? He’s basing it off of [Bunnie's] Novena project (http://hackaday.com/2014/04/02/bunnie-launches-the-novena-open-laptop/) which is a hobby-based open source laptop! For more information you can checkout the recent interview we had (http://hackaday.com/2014/05/22/bunnie-talks-to-us-about-novena-open-hardware-laptop/) with [Bunnie] himself!
Anyway, back to the hack — it features a laser cut case which has plenty of room for the Pi and any additional hardware you want to add. Like the Novena, the screen also functions as a lid, opening up to reveal the electronics, allowing for easy tinkering. All the files can be acquired over at Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:423776), and he has assembly instructions available on Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/PIvena-Assembly-Instructions/).
