Lime is nice piece of hardware, please look at it like nice learning tool not like some piece of consumer electronics with on/off switch only. [/quote]

Yes, and something that a few need to remember here. But there’s lots of activity to make it work well.

I have been looking into different cooling ideas. I will be designing my own case. Will definitely place it edge-on with the long side horizontal so the board faces can dissipate heat more readily. Still looking at ways to transfer heat externally so the case can be sealed.
