Review on GeeekPi Support Developer Powerful Computer by Antoine Dean

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, but could be better

Overall, this case makes a solid and well-made impression. However, I have some problems with it. When it arrived some of the pins on the GPIO expansion header were bent. The photo I posted was taken after I spent some time straightening them. Another picture I posted shows that after replacing the stock heatsink with a desktop heatsink + fan, there is a screw holding the SODIMM board to a carrier board that cannot be screwed in. It doesn't get past the cooler. . I think to fix this I'll rip out the dremel, but it's a pain for such an obvious oversight. The second works fine, but this one doesn't. Also, the general instruction is some kind of nonsense. It doesn't say what to do with the included thermal pads, but I put them on top of the RAM. Also the torx that comes with the kit doesn't fit? I had to use my own torx bit. For some reason it comes with a USB Type-A to Type-C cable? Not quite sure what that is for. But overall it seemed to be the most durable Jetson Nano case on the market, I couldn't find any others that were all metal and looked good, and this case looks and feels good.

Pros
  • Power, Reset and Force Recovery buttons are off --- Power, Reset, Force Recovery, these buttons are connected to the motherboard with a connector, say goodbye to long messy cables.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
