Odyssey cases
Odyssey series minicomputers offer designers and integrators of embedded systems a wide range of possibilities in the development of modern, scalable applications, both high- and low-level. The flexibility of this platform results from a number of solutions used by the designers from Seeedstudio - in addition to the main processor (a powerful, quad-core Intel Celeron unit), each module board also has an ARM coprocessor (ATSAMD21 or RP2040), responsible for handling real-time tasks (control GPIO lines, sensor readings, measurements using ADC, communication via SPI, I2C or UART links, etc.). Universal electronics, however, also requires a universal housing, which we will be able to change according to the needs of a given application. Exactly these features can be attributed to the re_computer housing, which was added to the Seeedstudio offer.

re_computer – a universal case that can do more
re_computer is a well-thought-out housing, designed for single-board minicomputers. However, unlike most products of this type, re_case has not been developed specifically for a single line of SBC modules. Thanks to a set of specially arranged holes in the mounting plate, the case facilitates the installation of both Seeedstudio minicomputers from the Odyssey series and main modules from other manufacturers (Raspberry Pi, Odyssey X86J4105, Nvidia Jetson Nano, and even BeagleBone). The designers noticed that while the sizes of most small SBCs are quite similar, the factor that significantly differs them is the number and arrangement of peripheral connectors. For this reason, the basic part of the housing (the lower part with the mounting plate and the upper cover) cooperate with replaceable front panels, enabling adjustment of the hole pattern and their descriptions to the needs of the selected type of minicomputer.
Adapting the re_computer case to individual needs
Removable panels, however, are definitely not all that the re_computer case offers. Its strength is also a well-thought-out expansion system that allows you to increase the total height by a few centimeters, necessary, for example, to mount additional functional overlays or an SSD drive. This solution provides incredible flexibility, unparalleled in the vast majority of other models of housing designed for minicomputers. The whole is complemented by a large acrylic window in the lid, allowing observation of the inside of the computer, as well as a magnetic mounting system, providing immediate access to the "guts" of the set whenever needed.
