Hello everyone.
I appreciate that most posts within this section of the forum are mostly related to the technical side of installing Kodi on a Raspberry Pi so please advise me if I need to be posting this elsewhere.
I recently built a Media Player device consisting of 1 x Raspberry Pi2 and 1 x 5TB 3.5" HDD inside the case of an old Hard Drive PVR device. It worked well because it had mounting points for a hard drive, plenty of space for the Raspberry Pi and all of the cables, power supplies etc. This device is currently be used at work where one of my colleagues asked me if I could build one for him.
My issue is that I previously used a disused Hard Drive PVR Case of which I only had one. I need to therefore find a new case, but one that houses 2 x 3.5" HDD as well as the Raspberry Pi and associated required parts (Power Supply, Cables etc).
I am attempting to keep costs to a minimum and I am also trying to keep size to a minimum as well (350mm wide x 250mm deep x 650mm high) however slight differences in size will be expected. (sizes shown are that of the device I have already made).
So far a Mini ITX Case is looking good, but finding one with 2 x 3.5" HDD mounting spots is difficult.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
