Pogoplug faceplate for desk conversion and weight reduction

The lovable, hackable Pogoplug! Whatever tasks I'd assign to these cheap little linux boxes, I'd always find the form factor a little lacking. With this front plate, you can drastically reduce the weight of the unit, make it stackable, and give it a more professional appearance.

Simply disassemble your Pogoplug to remove it from the original "Pogo stick" mount, and then snap this faceplate on. This faceplate works with or without the (heavy) extra plastic shell you remove before disassembling the unit. I prefer to use it without the shell.

Disassembly - grip the clear plastic shell and use your thumbs on the back of the unit while pulling on the plastic. Use a flat head screw driver to pry up the main case and unclip it from its other half. Unscrew the board if you have difficulty removing the original mount, and then snap the main case back together.
