For anyone wondering about the SOC, should be about par with the Pi besides other than having more I/O and I'm guessing a slower GPU.
slipperyskip: I was worried at first thinking, how do you replace a bad component in it, but I guess that's a bit of a moot point. Cool looking case, can't go wrong with birds eye hard maple and shellac. Interesting design to with the plexi, kinda of with you veneered the inside edges of the cut outs, but that would be a serious pain .
Also, shellac is super easy to use with the proper setup. Use a 3lbs or lighter cut, a real horse hair brush(as in $30+ for a 4"), and do light coats. Should go on super smooth and dry quickly between coats. An even easier way is to make a 1 to 1.5 lbs cut of shellac(for pre-mixed stuff just mix it 1:1 with denatured alcohol) and apply it with an untextured paper towel. Coats go on paper smooth and dry in 10-15 minutes in decent weather. Hit it with the sanding sponge @ 320 and repeat 5-6 times and top it off with some paste-wax .
Forgot to link this. One of those articles is where I stole my shellac paper towel method from years ago. Subscription only but if you're a woodworker it's an awesome thing to have.
