Just got the 3D-printed parts for the MediCat Seedbox, come take a look!

I ordered the TerraPi vertical SSD mounting kit from Inux3D at theterrapi.com. They have lots of cool stuff. It's very clever how they utilize the SSD as the mounting plate for the whole thing, taking full advantage of it's screw holes. I also ordered their flat copper heatsink too, and some 40mm LED fans and 40mm fan grills off amazon. The Pi 4 is a 1GGB model that runs Raspbian desktop with auto-login enabled and Transmission auto-launching and seeding at every startup, in case of reboots. I also installed OMV 5 on top, so the SSD also doubles as network storage for movies and music across my network. I loaded up 4 different respectable average-ish bitrate movies (5000KB/s) 1080p movies on 4 different devices at once, and none of them even stuttered once. I'm impressed. I've always wanted NAS storage for my network, and now I have it, combined with a seedbox, and it's all low-power. RAM usage averages about 30% of the 1GB, with just 64MB allocated to graphics.

Here's what it looked like before:
