Thanks for the details and links! If I ever get around to building my own, I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’m not much of an engineer - my approach tends to be a combination of “that seems like it would be sturdy,” “I’ll just copy this design that seems sturdy,” and “I’m not sure, so I’ll overbuild it just in case”. How did you decide on your structural design/bracing?


Haha. My brain went the same direction you did - After reading the post text, I thought OP might be looking to use the device as a standalone media player, not just client. I hadn’t noticed that OP specified “Client” in the title.
