I'm a software engineer of many years who's spent the past few trying to work out how to squeeze Raspberry Pis into a variety of toys..
Finished printing out the 'BladeRunner' enclosure for the Compute Blades.
Bit of a tight fit getting them installed, especially the one using the RPi CM5 heat sink which required quite a bit of pressure to slot into place.
Of course, now I need to remove them again to install OS and drives!

Its only 2 years late, but my Compute Blades have finally arrived!
Luckily I only ordered one RPi CM4 in the pack (note to self: Don't pre-order off the shelf extras), so I can use that in one and then get a RPi CM5 for the other.
Next step is to start printing the enclosure, then some setup.

My, passively cooled, RPi server still seems to be suffering from the heat...
So introducing the 'JankFan 2000™', causing an almost immediate drop of 30C-40C!
Seems to be keeping the RPi stable after 2 1/2 hours.

Hmm my RPi server has started crashing, I wonder why.
$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=83.7'C
Oh, that's a bit toasty.

Noticed the Radxa Pentsa SATA Hat was back in stock at RS (Quite a bit cheaper than other retailers).
So time to rebuild my Raspberry Pi NAS again, hopefully this time with a less janky power setup for the HDDs!
