[arm-allstar] Pi3 Sale, cases, memory, etc.

[David McGough]

These are the cases I'm using--I've got a dozen or more deployed. I'm only
looking for protection for the PCB in a repeater rack, etc. I leave the 
end cover off the micro-SD card end, to improve ventilation. I like this
price!   https://www.ebay.com/itm/281977686072

For installations in cabinets, I also always install a small heatsink on
the SoC chip, like this one:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/331971574352

And, add a DC-DC converter similar to this: 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/112473789307

.....This all combines to be a $50 repeater controller that is at least as 
reliable as my legacy embedded PC's! ....At a tiny fraction of the power 
usage, too!
