ODROID H4+ and Jonsbo N2: a mostly decent marriage

Build log / review? / feverish ravings about the ODROID H4+ SBC and the Jonsbo N2 case, and the trials and tribulations of putting them together. Barely edited, poorly narrated, yet still perhaps valuable to others in my very specific, very weird boat.

hi good video and description. Could I ask you put the links for the cables and stuff required for this solution? many thanks in advance

do you have heat problem since your build does not have the fan to cool down the heatsink.

Thank you for your video, Ada! I just got my H4+ with the 19V power brick hoping it would provide the most energy efficient setup and wanted to get a Jonsbo N1 case but have been wondering about the SATA backplate possibly being an issue. Luckily I now won't have to regret that decision and will look for other case options :)

Any chance you can tell me how many watts your system needs in idle? Maybe getting a small form factor PSU is still a good option for me.
