Puget Systems Acrylic Enclosure for NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and TX2 development kits

I did lots of research trying to find an enclosure for my Nvidia Jetson TX2. I looked at closed and open enclosures and decided on this product because of it elegant design and great craftsmanship. I wanted an open enclosure because the Nvidia Jetson TX2 comes with a side camera that you can use to run your object detection routines and I wanted to leverage it in my development. If it were enclosed then I could not use the camera at all and it would hurt my development capabilities. Further, I wanted something only as big as the board itself and this enclosure covers it perfectly with no wasted space. Next, I wanted to be able to mount a solid state hard drive to the environment and it not only gave me the capability but also included both the power and data SATA cable to do the connection.I know some folks in other reviews said they could do it themselves for cheaper but let me tell you that you cannot create the same quality product as what is being produced by Puget Systems. The instructions were easy to understand and the Nvidia Jetson TX2 fits perfectly into this case.They also provide the ability to stack them in the enclosure if you need that functionality.Overall, it is just an outstanding product and I could not be happier with my choice. I tried two other enclosures but none have proven to be as good as this one! If you need an enclosure for your Nvidia Jetson TX2, this is it. You won't be disappointed. It is great!

Hand/fingered tightened one of the 1/4" offset posts into the acrylic and the aluminum (or some other junk metal) offset broke! Are you kidding me! How cheap does metal software have to be to break tightened by finger pressure into plastic? Now the entire bottom layer is missing a pier for support because the bottom pier hole has a broken offset screw stuffed into it. Drill it out? Oh come on! 3 of 4 support places now for this expensive highly fragile board. Not cool.The acrylic washers -- nice touch. Too bad they are too thick to use or you could say the metal hardware screws are too short to use the washers.For almost $60 for $3.00 worth of materials I wonder if they even bothered actually putting this design together before selling it 'en masse?The worst part? I really need to isolate these boards and stack four together and even though 4 small standard PC cases do fit these boards it would be adding much more bulk stacking four, adding four unnecessary power supplies, etc. Even the acrylic was scratched UNDER the protective papering! How exactly does that happen? To be fair, one good thing, they did include the hardware to stack multiple Jetson boards. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but will need to. I hope the materials are up to par.The really rotten part? I have to buy three more of these over priced gems! They look good but are terrible material quality. If you have just one Jetson use a stand-alone mini PC case.

I purchased when I ordered TX1 board. I didn't want the board shorting out sitting on my desk. But the new boards already come with feet, and are probably adequately situated as-is.That said, the Puget Systems enclosure is a work of crystal-like art. It fits exactly, and comes with mounting points and SATA adapter for an SDD. The button labels are laser-etched or some-such, which is a pro. Definitely shows off the TX1 to maximum advantage.

The good:1. It serves its purpose.2. SATA cable included.The bad:1. Instead of using bolts, like other acrylic sheet cases, this case uses threaded holes in the acrylic (filled with debris). Special care needs to be taken when screwing in the standoffs.2. The thin plastic spacers used to bolt the longer posts to the standoffs only allows about a 1/2 turn making the posts pop out if lateral pressure is applied. I ended up not using them and did not have any issues. I speculate their utility is to support larger SATA drives. If that is the case then a taller post should have been included. If I need more height I can get other posts from Mouser I suppose. My SATA drive is quite thin, so not a problem for me.3. The SATA spacer is too thin for the included SATA cable so a bit of lateral pressure is constantly being applied to the drive connector. I guess the upshot is that the cable will not pop out (like it does on the TX1 board).4. The case is larger than it needs to be. I speculate this is for stacking. Stacking could have been done using the exiting posts like the Geauxrobot cases do for the RPI. The larger boarder makes it a bit more cumbersome to work with the GPIO pins. Not impossible, just cumbersome.Given the negatives I still would have purchased this case because of the lack of obvious alternatives. Perhaps I need to look harder.

Outstanding! The enclosure is very well built and even the SATA extension cable is included along with a drive mount. The SATA drive fits perfectly. The labeling is very nicely done and looks very professional. The size is also perfect and is perhaps 1/4 of an inch larger than the base that came with the board. No issues at all with assembly. The board itself is made from high quality polished and edge-finished acrylic and is very visually appealing. Great overall design. Very well done!! Thanks very much.

Cable sata drive cable that comes with this product doesnt fit the space and bends the sata socket on jetson...I used SMAKN 22 pin cable that fits better. Without this cable problem, enclosure feature is fine.

I was a bit worried based on other reviews, but the product is solid. Take your time, look at all components, determine proper orientation of plates. Took 15 minutes to assemble with a small nut driver and screwdriver. I used with a EVO SSD drive. All is good, looks clean. Recommended.

very good
