Summary

Build your own media server using Raspberry Pi 4 and an external SSD. Stream live TV and movies with Plex using the Chromium web browser, or install any other network drive / streaming software to run on this all-in-one lunchbox sized Pi-based server.

Use an SSD to store all of your media and get blazing fast read and write speeds using a SATA to USB 3.0 cable.

Build a PC tower inspired 3D printed case. Secure the Pi and extra accessories such as a 1.9in TFT display, 5V fan, 2x buttons and a power switch with an LED.

Side panels attach to the frame making this a modular design for easy access. The case features a handle with a print-in-place hinge for transport.

Use the 1.9in color TFT screen to display your media servers IP address, CPU temperature or memory/disk usage using CircuitPython libraries for Raspberry Pi OS.

Also play looping GIF images on the display and cycle through them using the built-in buttons.
