What outdoor case do you use besides pelican case?

[demonjester]

I am looking at alternative outdoor boxes locally I bought one of the outdoor cases from walmart and spray painted, but I want to see what you guys have used? I am looking for solid black or solid dark color.

I use one of these outside my local ............ :)

never had it tampered with as no body wants to touch it

whats with the red rollers. and the holes on the side?

[thesugarat]

I believe that is what's known as a rat trap.... Brilliant idea by the way.

You could look at hiding one of these around or near other boxes like it.... I'd purchase another sticker (maybe Electrical related) to cover the WiFi one. Finding a non-intrusive means of securing it to the wall may be difficult.

Or this one is cheaper and more nondescript:

Picked up an Otterbox Drybox 3500 which fits the pineapple, battery pack, alfa wifi adaptor, and a usb hub... doesn't look too bad to boot! Here's my entire gear list that gets crammed into the drybox:

And here it is inside the drybox (sorry for bad quality pic)

I used a coleman water tight container I picked up at my local walmart.

Drilled a hold to get the antenna to pop out, everything else sits inside it nicely!

I was also looking at otterbox watertight boxes. I was hoping to find otterbox drybox locally.

edit; where did you get the RF connectors?

Everything besides the pineapple came from amazon. Here's a link to the RF connectors that I used

demonjester, they sell those same ones at the hakshop too. 2 of em come with the pineapple elite

And +1 on the brilliant idea to Gh3to. That is a sick-ass hiding spot

I know you said other than Pelican Cases, but they're pretty dang awesome.

Check out my build thread that I did with two different pelican cases here:

One with a Pi/Pineapple and the other with just the Pineapple.

Heh, I just bolted one of those to a police department a couple weeks ago!

Does that anker battery provide 12v from usb or is it just the standard 5v?

[Johnnie]

Astro3 does provide 12v. 3E model is 5V

Edited May 9, 2013 by Johnnie

[ShadowBlade72]

Exactly what Johnnie said. I have the 5v model, but the 10k mAh version has 12v.

I didn't have a need for 12v. The dual 5v model runs everything just fine for me.

If you're planning on running just the pineapple with dual wireless cards, I'd suggest using the 2nd 5v outlet to throw some extra juice into a USB hub.

I have two different battery packs atm, one is ravpower 10k mAh and the other is trent brand.
