Know What You're Getting Into

This is a stackable case with built in cooling for 6 Pi boards. There isn't much room for hats and GPIO access is very limited. However, it went well with my first multi-board project and I went with it. Materials can be fragile and like some other reviewers, my kit arrived with a few breakages. Kudos to C4Labs who sent me a replacement via priority mail as soon as I contacted them. Assembly is tricky and is made worse by the fact that the parts themselves are not clearly labeled to help you find your way around. I had the whole suitcase together before realizing that the side panels were upside down which meant I had to take everything apart again. What helped me with assembly was using cellophane tape to hold the pieces in place; It was still a challenge to build, it took a lot of patience and trial and error. I'm happy with the results, although due to the GPIO access I'd probably go with their larger case if starting from scratch. But everything worked out, and now I have a Kubernetes cluster on my desk.
