Sizes and Dimensions for items

I am using this log to put some item dimensions for me and my case-assisting heroes; reference :-)

Also will put a note on where in the case I am feeling about putting it.


10 Port USB Hub:

189 x 38 x 23mm

Mount on the bottom panel on it's side (ports in), with end USB port flush against left side (port accessible from outside). Other end allow space for USB and power cable. (Power to top right, USB to top centre?)

Pi

Dimensions: TBC

Choice here: Mount top centre with HDMI flush against top panel for access. Use A+ (smaller, Lower Power consumption but power usb blocked if HDMI mounted flush - can always provide power to GPIO pins) or B (bigger, but HDMI not on same side as microUSB power for power.

Adafruit Powerboost 500C

Dimensions: TBC

Mount top right with switch?

Batteries

Dimensions: TBC

Top right with switch/powerboost

2.5" Hard Drive enclosure

Dimensions: TBC

Mount top left, between switch and Pi

3.5" RPi Touchscreen

Dimensions: Approx TBC

Mount dead centre - use ribbon cable to link.

This screen will be swapped for a 5"/7" standard LCD when I source.
