The plan is that you should be able to make a slot if fits into securely, in many cases even accessible without opening the case, which is why the extra connectors like HDMI are on the back end, so they would then be available on the outside of the case.</div>

Hello<br>
<br>
I've again a (probably naïve) question. Once we've got our brand new allwinner<br>
A10 and a linux kernel running on top of it, I'm wondering what are the<br>
possibilities to package it in a nice plastic box (with LCD screen or not).<br>
<br>
So here's the question: what about the screw hole and connector placement on<br>
this card ? Is there a standard (de factor or not) regarding form factor,<br>
screw hole and connector placement to reduce the manufacturing costs of<br>
plastic boxes containing this new card ?<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
