We've added router mounting and a snazzy heat-resistant black coating. Also tidied the cables 'a bit' better. Also trimmed for the predicted 3 zones per shelf form factor. All credit to @BobMason89

Of you've ever wondered if you can build an S3 object store on a bunch of raspberry pi 5's. Yes you can. In addition, it will with correct tuning run like Mr Bolt and completely swamp it's 1gbps nics. 100% arm baby. Incl the router.
