[Nottingham] Hot Pi?

[Dan Caseley]

I'm looking forward to seeing what the entrepreneurs of the secondary
market bring to the Pi.
For the HTPC, a simple case would be a nice alternative to "look what I
blue-tac'd to my telly".
I'd love to see something for NAS idea - it would be a more complex affair,
but perfectly possible. 2/3/4 bays and an inbuilt USB hub, and a "Pi goes
here" sticker?
